ABAAHP Frequently Asked Questions

What is the value of being a Diplomate in Anti-Aging Medicine?

ABAAHP certification denotes recognition in the fastest-growing new high-tech medical specialty. It demonstrates to your patients that you have taken an active interest in the science of longevity. In addition, the exam helps to ensure Anti-Aging physicians have grasped the essentials relating to the clinical application of Anti-Aging medical care. Because the criteria for maintaining ABAAHP credentials include attending Anti-Aging scientific conferences and completing 150 hours of CME credits, Diplomate status underscores and enhances the physician's commitment to receiving ongoing medical education. ABAAHP Diplomates can readily establish their practices as leading facilities for Anti-Aging healthcare, by receiving new patient referrals from patients seeking qualified Anti-Aging doctors via A4M.

How should I prepare for the exam?

Purchase your review kit and begin studying!

Do I have to complete all the requirements before I take the exam?

No, membership in good standing with A4M and exam registration will start the process. The Board Registrar will work with you in order to obtain the remainder of your requirements.

I took the Exam. When will I know my score?

Grading of ABAAHP Written Exam is completed within 4 to 6 weeks of the date on which the exam was administered. The Board Registrar notifies each examinee of their score. On a case-by-case basis for examinees who fail the written exam, the examinee may request (at additional cost to examinee) the ABAARM Review Committee to conduct a Deficiency Analysis. This analysis presents a segmented summary of the knowledge deficits of the examinee as demonstrated by performance on the exam.

Do I have to take an Oral Exam as well?

ABAAHP only requires completion of a written exam and additional criteria to achieve Diplomate certification.
