New Specialty & Subspecialty Programs
In June, the ABPTRFE credentialed LSUHSC-S Wound Management Residency in Shreveport, Louisianna and in August, the ABPTRFE credentialed Expert Clinical Benchmarks Residency in Clinical Electrophysiology in Staten Island, New York. This is the first wound care management residency program and the first Clinical Electrophysiology residency program to be credentialed by the ABPTRFE and represents a historical moment for APTA!
The ABPTRFE has recognized Neonatology as a subspecialty and is currently accepting applications for credentialing of Neonatology Fellowships! Please contact APTA Staff at resfel@apta.org or 703/706-3152 to obtain a copy of the Neonatology practice analysis.
