Obtaining the ABAARM Certification


Robert Windsor, MD, has led an accomplished career in clinical practice and academics. Over the course of more than 25 years, he taught dozens of medical courses, practiced as a physician at a wide range of hospitals, and served as the medical director of several facilities. In 2000, Robert Windsor, MD, became a diplomate in integrative/functional medicine as certified by the American Board of Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine (ABAARM).

Developed by the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine (A4M), the ABAARM provides professionals in a variety of medical specialties with certification of their solid understanding of anti-aging medical care. To obtain board certification, professionals must pass a written and oral examination. They must also commit to continuing their education on an ongoing basis.

To be eligible for the ABAARM certification, doctors must hold an active medical license and have at least five years of experience practicing in a clinical setting. In an effort to demonstrate their commitment to learning, applicants need to prove that they have completed 200 hours of continuing medical education in the past eight years and be a member of the A4M.

Once the basic requirements are met, doctors must complete a course consisting of case studies, article reviews, treatment programs, and diagnoses. The written and oral certification exams are based on the information taught in this course.
