About the American Board of
Comprehensive Clinical Medicine (ABCCM)
Setting the Standard for Primary Care and General Medicine Excellence
The American Board of Comprehensive Clinical Medicine (ABCCM) is an independent certifying body that recognizes and validates the skills of physicians trained in primary care, general medicine, and comprehensive clinical practice. As a specialty board under the Global Health & Quality Alliance (GHQA), ABCCM bridges the gap between diverse training backgrounds and the requirements of U.S. licensure and clinical excellence.
We offer board certification in Comprehensive Clinical Medicine (CCM)—a specialty that reflects the breadth and complexity of generalist clinical care across settings and patient populations. Physicians with backgrounds in primary care, general medicine, or comparable clinical fellowships are highly encouraged to apply.
