Excerpted from the website:
- The primary purpose and most essential function of the Board is to protect the public by establishing and maintaining high standards in thoracic surgery. To achieve these objectives, the Board has established qualifications for examination and procedures for certification and recertification. The requirements and procedures are reviewed regularly and modified as necessary.
- Board certification in a medical specialty is evidence that a physician's qualifications for specialty practice are recognized by his or her peers.
