The American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology issues certificates for psychiatrists in general psychiatry, child and adolescent psychiatry, and added qualification in geriatric psychiatry. It will issue a certificate in added qualification in clinical neurophysiology in 1992. An application for a certificate in added qualification in addiction psychiatry is currently under review by the American Board of Medical Specialties. The American Psychiatric Association has requested that the ABPN consider forensic psychiatry for an added qualification. All new subspecialty certificates will have a ten year time limit. Beginning on October 1, 1994, all certificates will be time-limited. Time-limited certificates will lead to the requirement for recertification. Current requirements for certification are reviewed and strategies for planing for recertification are discussed.
美国精神病学与神经病学委员会为普通精神病学、儿童与青少年精神病学领域的精神科医生颁发证书，以及颁发老年精神病学附加资格证书。该委员会将于1992年颁发临床神经生理学附加资格证书。美国医学专业委员会目前正在审核成瘾精神病学附加资格证书的申请。美国精神病学协会已要求美国精神病学与神经病学委员会考虑将法医精神病学设为附加资格。所有新的亚专业证书将有十年期限。从1994年10月1日起，所有证书都将有期限限制。有期限限制的证书将导致重新认证的要求。文中回顾了当前的认证要求，并讨论了重新认证的规划策略。
