When you or a family member needs medical treatment, you want a highly qualified doctor to provide outstanding care. When you choose a Board-Certified dermatologist, you can be confident he or she meets nationally recognized standards for education, knowledge, experience, and skills to provide high-quality care. Board Certification goes beyond basic medical licensure and is recognized throughout the world to signify excellence in the practice of Dermatology.
While all physicians must be licensed to practice medicine, many take the additional step to become certified by a medical specialty board, demonstrating they meet high standards of knowledge and skills. Dermatologists certified by the American Board of Dermatology (ABD) are committed to life-long learning and continuous skill development.

Between 1985-1991, this certification was called Dermatological Immunology/Diagnostic and Laboratory Immunology (DLI). Starting with certificates issued in 1993, the name became Clinical & Laboratory Dermatological Immunology (CLDI), until the certification was discontinued in 2001.

Continuing Certification Program (CCP) is a program that offers assurance to the public that the
competency the Diplomate evidenced when awarded initial certification in Dermatology is
maintained during continuing professional life. It is centered on educational and professional
development and assesses the competence of physicians throughout their professional
career.
Before 1991, dermatologists who passed the ABD Certification Exam after residency were granted
lifetime certificates in dermatology (no expiration date). After 1991, time-limited certificates
were issued, with renewal contingent upon fulfilling continuing certification requirements.
While not required, some lifetime certificate holders voluntarily participate in the
continuing certification program.
