I get a lot of questions from laser physicians about the American Board of Laser Surgery. I thought I would leave a short post about the benefits of becoming a diplomat of the ABLS. It is the only recognized specialty board specifically for laser surgery. We have members from many countries because most other countries do not have a laser board. It is like any other board certification with a written and oral exam.  Through the process, the practitioner will gain extensive knowledge about laser procedures, safety, theory, physics, and other information. Feel free to ask me any questions about it!
