The American Board of Anesthesiology (ABA) will administer its Pain Management examination via computer at more than 200 test centers on Saturday, September 12, 1998. The ABA will inform candidates of the test sites when the list is available.

Diplomates of the ABA who apply and are judged to be qualified by virtue of their additional training or experience in pain management will be accepted for examination. After 1998, the ABA will require all applicants for the examination to satisfactorily complete one year of training in a pain management program accredited by the Residency Review Committee for Anesthesiology.

You may request an application by writing to the Secretary, American Board of Anesthesiology, 4101 Lake Boone Trail, Suite 510, Raleigh, NC 27607-7506. The ABA must receive your completed pain management application by March 1, 1998.
