What The American Board of Internal Medicine does
Mission
See schedule o.The American Board of Internal Medicine (abim) seeks to enhance the quality of health care by certifying internists and subspecialists who demonstrate the knowledge, skills and attitudes essential for excellent patient care.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Abim board certification demonstrates that physicians have completed internal medicine and subspecialty training and have met rigorous standards through intensive study, self-assessment and evaluation. Additionally, certification encompasses the six general competencies established by the accreditation council for graduate medical education (acgme) and sets the stage for continual professional development through values centered on lifelong learning.continued on schedule o.in order to be certified, a physician must:* complete the requisite pre-doctoral medical education* meet specific training requirements* meet licensure requirements and procedural requirements* pass a certification examinationabim administers its certification process by: (1) establishing requirements for training and self-evaluation; (2) assessing the professional credentials of candidates; (3) obtaining substantiation by appropriate authorities of the clinical competence and professional standing of candidates; and (4) developing and conducting examinations and other assessments.initial certification by abim signifies a physician is ready to practice in internal medicine or one of its subspecialties.
$23,144,081 spent$40,841,870 earned by the program38% of program spendingAbim's maintenance of certification (moc) credential means something different from initial certification. It speaks to the question of whether or not an internist is staying current with knowledge and practice in his/her discipline. Abim issues a binary consequential moc credential that is anchored in whether a physician is meeting a performance standard. Abim issues that credential based upon objective, fair, defensible psychometrically rigorous standards. Participation in moc means that a physician is demonstrating that s/he is engaged in certain continuous learning and education activities. Continued on schedule o.diplomates participating in abim's moc program are required to take and pass an assessment every 10 years to remain certified. They can do this by passing a point-in-time assessment called the traditional, 10-year moc exam, or achieving a passing score at the conclusion of their 5-year lka cycle. Diplomates holding certification in cardiology may also be able to satisfy this requirement by achieving a passing score in the collaborative maintenance pathway, an assessment product jointly created and administered by abim and the american college of cardiology.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $101M to $180M (+79%).
How it's funded, over time

Who funds it, year by year
2019 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 3 funders, grant income rose $5k → $140k.
1 of 4 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 1% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
Left out of every figure on this page: $10M from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Abim Foundation). These are real filings, and they are not money THE AMERICAN BOARD OF INTERNAL MEDICINE raised.
From the IRS filings of THE AMERICAN BOARD OF INTERNAL MEDICINE’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
THE AMERICAN BOARD OF INTERNAL MEDICINE leans on a few funders — its largest provides 87% of grant income and the top three 99%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
100% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund THE AMERICAN BOARD OF INTERNAL MEDICINE.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2019 100% · 2022 100% · 2023 71% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
THE AMERICAN BOARD OF INTERNAL MEDICINE draws 100% of its grant income from funders outside Pennsylvania, across 3 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $5k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
