Hello there, 

I am a fellow in pediatric critical care medicine and have a strong interest in disaster medicine and hope to become board certified in the coming years. I am currently writing an article for the American Academy of Pediatrics about the opportunities in disaster medicine and had two questions regarding the ABPS Board Certification in Disaster Medicine.

1. Is the performance assessment (patient simulation) in place and part of the current certification exam or is it planned for the future? Just want to have the most accurate and current information regarding this.

2. Can you tell me how many pediatricians, if any, are board certified--or eligible--in Disaster Medicine?

Please email me at your earliest convenience.

Thanks,
Aaron Gardner
