An accomplished general surgeon with more than two decades of experience, Dr. Dan Avradopoulos serves as the lead physician of the Wound Care Center at Heywood Hospital in Gardner, Massachusetts. Recognized as an expert in his field, Dr. Dan Avradopoulos is certified by the American Board of Surgery.
Last November, the American Board of Surgery announced sweeping changes to its certification process which will offer a more frequent and accessible examination schedule. Under the new format, diplomates will have the ability to renew their certification every two years by taking an open-book examination offered online. The new program will be rolled out in the second half of 2018.
In order to better explain the process and answer questions that diplomates may have about the new certification schedule, ABS Chair Dr. Mary Klingensmith spoke about the continuous assessment initiative in a video released in late January. That video can be viewed at https://vimeo.com/251554116.
