Basically it means someone is 'board certified' in that specialty or area of medicine. It is the more correct term that the board advises us to use on our business cards. [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.]
To become a certified oncologist, a physician must first complete a Doctor of Medicine (MD) or Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) degree, followed by a residency in internal medicine, which typically lasts about three years. Afterward, they must complete a fellowship in oncology, usually lasting an additional 2-3 years. Finally, the physician must pass a certification exam administered by a recognized board, such as the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) in the United States, to become a board-certified oncologist. Continuous education and re-certification are often required to maintain their certification.
