1999 UNDERSEA & HYPERBARIC MEDICINE
SUBSPECIALTY EXAMINATION

The American Board of Preventive Medicine (ABPM) will offer a
certifying examination in Undersea and Hyperbaric Medicine for the first
time on November 8, 1999.

In March 1999 ABPM received approval to change the name of its
subspecialty certification in Undersea Medicine to Undersea and
Hyperbaric Medicine. The last (and only) time the certification
examination was offered was in 1992. Now with this change in name
to more accurately reflect the expansion of practice during the past
decade to include regular use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy for a
variety of disorders, the ABPM plans to offer this subspecialty
certification exam on a regular basis.

A study guide to prepare for these exams is being prepared by
Dr. Jolie Bookspan through the Undersea and Hyperbaric
Medical Society (UHMS). This guide will be available by late
July.
