A physician based in Las Vegas, Nevada, Dr. Kevin Buckwalter has practiced medicine since 1998. Dr. Kevin Buckwalter is a committed medical professional, who holds a number of certifications, including one from the American Board of Family Medicine (ABFM).
A nonprofit, voluntary organization, the ABFM was founded in 1969. One of the organizations of the American Board of Medical Specialties, the ABFM is the second-largest specialty board in the country and oversees training, research, and leadership development, among other issues of public health. The ABFM also designs and conducts certification in family practice for professionals and medical residents.
Open to family practice physicians and third-year residents in the United States and Canada, the initial certification test is held in November and April. After successfully completing the test, applicants should also finish one of the approved self-assessment modules, from asthma to preventative care. Additionally, they should complete a performance practice module in their specialty. For professionals who have completed their initial certification or who have let it lapse more than three years, the ABFM offers maintenance of certification programs to ensure continued compliance.
