ABPN Announces Pilot Alternative Pathway to Certification
The ABPN released documents detailing the academic pathway, a pilot alternate pathway to ABPN certification, intended for psychiatrists and neurologists who do not meet standard ABPN eligibility criteria, but have demonstrated accomplishments and further future potential as academic faculty members. The Pathway is open to eligible applicants beginning with the 2026 primary specialty certification examinations. The pilot will be available to applicants each year through the 2032 examinations.
The Academic Pathway is open to all psychiatry- or neurology-trained physicians who meet the qualifications. Determinations of qualifications are made by the ABPN; all ABPN determinations are final and are not subject to appeal.
