The suffix "ABFM" signifies that the physician is board-certified by the The American Board of Family Medicine. Board-certified physicians are also known as "Diplomates" of their respective specialty's certifying board. For example, "Dr. Robert Jones, M.D., ABFM" means that Dr. Jones is a diplomate or in other words is board-certified by the American Board of Family Medicine.

"Dr. William Smith, D.O., ACC" is a diplomate or is board-certified by the American College of Cardiology.
