Senderoff, MD, FACS is a Clinical Instructor
of Surgery at Weill Medical College of

The doctor is trained and experienced in the

Doctor Senderoff, is a Board Certified
Plastic Surgeon, what does "Board Certified
Mean"? How does a doctor become Board
Certified? By choosing a plastic surgeon who
is certified by The American Board of
Plastic Surgery, Inc., you can be assured
that the doctor has graduated from an
accredited medical school and has completed
at least five years of additional training
as a resident surgeon. This includes a
minimum three-year residency in an
accredited general surgery program and a
minimum two-year residency in plastic
surgery. To become certified, the doctor
then must successfully complete
comprehensive written and oral exams. Board
Certification is a voluntary process.
Q. Why is The American Board of Plastic
Surgery, Inc. different from other plastic
surgery (or cosmetic surgery) Boards?
ABPS is one of the 24 specialty boards
recognized by the American Board of Medical
Specialties (ABMS). It is the only ABMS
Board which certifies in the full spectrum
of the entire specialty of plastic surgery.
Q. What is the difference between membership
in a society, association, academy and being
a Diplomate of ABPS? The ABPS Diplomate is a
certified physician who has met the
requirements outlined above. The mission of
The American Board of Plastic Surgery, Inc.
is to promote safe, ethical, efficacious
plastic surgery to the public by maintaining
high standards for the education,
examination, certification and
recertification of plastic surgeons as
specialists and sub specialists. Societies
are professional associations. The specific
society, association or academy should be
contacted for specific membership
requirements and mission.
Q. Define accreditation and certification,
and licensure.
Licensure is designed as minimum standard
necessary to practice medicine. It is a
public function, administered by the states,
the standards are established through a
public process and all actions taken - both
in granting a license and in restricting or
withdrawing a license - are matters of
public record. Licensure is not specialty
specific and permits an individual to
provide to the public any medical or
surgical service he/she desires.
Certification by a specialty Board attests
to 1) completion of a prescribed set of
education and training requirements in a
specialty of medicine beyond the minimum
requirements for licensure, and 2) passage
of examination that test the fund of
knowledge in that specialty. Most
specialties now also require periodic
recertification, which generally requires
completion of specified continuing education
and successful completion of a further
examination testing the fund of knowledge in
that specialty. Many health care
organizations and health plans now require
certification in order to provide services
in the relevant specialty area.
Board-certified physicians govern specialty
Boards in that specialty.
Accreditation is awarded to licensed
physicians who have conducted their
professional activities in accordance with
standards set to define quality in
professional practice. These standards
include ethical behavior; absence of
disciplinary actions by hospitals, licensing
agencies, or financing programs;
participation in peer review; participation
in clinical self-assessment; operation of a
safe, patient-centered practice that meets
criteria for quality; and participation in
measurement of clinical performance and
patient care results, including patient
satisfaction. Accreditation is not specialty
specific. Accreditation reports include
information on the physician's license
status and specialty board certification.
The American Medical Accreditation Program
can be contacted for further information.
