Applicants and Candidates may not indicate to anyone else that they are an Applicant or a Candidate for board certification by the ABPPSP and/or ABPP, nor may they do so on a résumé, CV, or any written or oral statement of qualifications. Additionally, neither the ABPPSP nor the ABPP use, authorize, or recognize the term “board eligible.” Applicants and Candidates may not use this term to represent any relationship or status with either Board, nor may Applicants or Candidates represent to any outside person or entity that they have met the minimum requirements as an Applicant or Candidate of the Boards. All candidates may disclose their candidate status to family members and work colleagues when withholding disclosure may be harmful to the personal or professional relationship (e.g., to a business partner when scheduling an oral examination, to a spouse). In no case may the disclosure be made to imply a qualification not yet attained.
