A family physician practicing in Nevada, Dr. Kevin Buckwalter provides care for patients of all ages, from children to the elderly. Dr. Kevin Buckwalter stays current in his field by maintaining memberships with the American Medical Association and the American Board of Family Medicine (ABFM), where he holds diplomate status.
The ABFM consists of 83,925 diplomates as of 2014. A majority of its members practice geriatric, sports, and hospice and palliative medicine. Other diplomates specialize in sleep and adolescent medicine. All diplomates are required to fulfill the ABFM Maintenance of Certification for Family Physicians process in between recertification examinations. This ensures each member holds the highest level of accountability and continues to enhance his or her understanding of their area of medicine. Professionalism, self-assessment and lifelong learning, cognitive expertise, and performance in practice make up the components of the process. The entire program allows three years to complete the modules. Following each three-year stage, the process must be repeated in order to maintain designation as an ABFM diplomate.
