[There is some variation in use, however: some use "Diplomate" (with a long a as in mate) in the sense that one has received a diploma from the ABIM certifying that one passed their examination, rather than "diplomat" (with a short a as in mat), which refers to a professional in the area of diplomacy, generally not considered a medical specialty.]
