Celebrating Doctor’s Day

On National Doctor’s Day, we celebrate the extraordinary work you and more than a quarter of a million ABIM Board Certified physicians do every day. Medicine is a deeply rewarding profession—one that requires expertise and compassion, patience and resilience. The difference you make in the lives of your patients is immeasurable.

We are privileged that patients entrust their care to us. This trust is earned by treating patients with dignity and respect, and bringing our best medical knowledge and judgement to inform decisions and guide their care.

I am proud of being part of an organization that works alongside thousands of dedicated physicians who continually raise the standard of care.

I hope on this Doctor’s Day you’re able to reflect on the important role you play in the lives of so many. Thank you for all you do on behalf of the profession and, most importantly, your patients.
