July 8, 2010, Gallipolis, OH - Holzer Clinic along with the American Board of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation is pleased to announce the successful completion of its Re-certification Examination by Dr. Marietta Babayev.

Board certification confers a standard of excellence in knowledge and practice to physicians who not only certify via the examination process, but who also work diligently on the maintenance of these skills during the ten-year cycle between examinations. While licensure by the individual states sets the minimum competency requirements to practice medicine, it is not specialty specific. Board certification is a voluntary program in which specialists seek to improve their performance and demonstrate a commitment to their profession.

Certification by the American Board of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation has stood for the highest standards and has meant that physicians have demonstrated – to their peers and to the public – that they have the clinical judgment, skills, and attitudes essential for the delivery of excellent patient care. The mission of the American Board of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (ABPMR) is to assure that, at the time of certification and recertification, diplomats certified by the ABPMR have met the ABPMR’s professional standards of training and knowledge in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. The American Board of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation is not a membership society, but a non-profit, independent evaluation organization. Their accountability is both to the profession of medicine and to the public.
