AMERICAN BOARD OF SURGERY
美國外科委員會
The American Board of Surgery ( ABS) is an independent, nonprofit organization with the purpose of certifying individual surgeons who have met defined standards of education, training, and knowledge.
美國外科委員會是一個獨立的、非盈利性質的組織，專門為達到既定教育、培訓和知識水平的外科醫生頒發證書。
The distinction between the ACGME and the ABS is that the ACGME accredits training programs, while the ABS certifies individuals.
畢業后醫學教育認證委員會與美國外科委員會的區別就在于，前者對培訓項目進行鑒定，而后者為個人頒發證書。
This distinction is similar for specialty boards in other disciplines as well.
對于其它專業委員來說也有類似分類。
The ABS also recertifies practicing surgeons and is making a fundamental philosophical change from periodic retesting for recertification to a more continuous maintenance of certification (MOC) plan.
美國外科委員會還會重新認證執業外科醫師，目前正處于一個根本性的、理念上的變革階段——從以往的定期再測試再認證過渡到可持續的認證維護。
The ACGME and the specialty boards interact.
畢業后醫學教育認證委員會與專業委員會相互作用。
The success of individuals in achieving board certification is an important measure of graduate medical education program success, and the measures required for board certification must also reflect the education that is offered to individuals through their graduate medical education.
個人成功獲得委員會的資格認證標志著（美國）醫學研究生教育課程的成功，委員會使用的認證標準必須符合醫學研究生的課程要求。
Thus, although these entities have different purposes, they must mesh their efforts constructively.
所以，盡管它們的功能不同，但也需要互相協調。
Board certification within a defined period after completing residency is necessary for privileging to perform surgery in many US hospitals.
委員會頒發的證書特許住院醫生在實習期結束后的指定時間內在全美多家醫院執行手術
Thus, the most straightforward route into surgical practice in the United States includes graduation from an LCME-accredited medical school, completion of an ACGME-accredited residency training program, and satisfactory completion of the Qualifying Examination (written boards) and Certifying Examination (oral boards) of the ABS.
所以，成為一名美國外科醫生最直接的方式包括：畢業于醫學教育聯絡委員會驗證的醫學院，完成畢業后醫學教育認證委員所認定的住院醫生實習項目，優異成績通過美國外科委員會的資格考試（筆頭）和畢業考試（口頭）。
There are other entry points into surgical practice in the United States, most prominently by physicians who have graduated from medical schools in countries outside the United States and Canada.
還有一些其它途徑，然而他們大部分是從美國和加拿大以外的學校畢業。
These graduates can be certified by the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG).
這些畢業生可以通過外國醫科畢業生教育委員會拿到認證資格。
Once a graduate is certified by the ECFMG, he or she is eligible to train in an ACGME-approved residency training program and can thus be eligible for board certification.
一旦畢業生拿到認證資格，他或她就有了由外國醫科畢業生教育委員會所認可的住院醫生培訓資格，也從而獲得了委員會證書。
