What is FACC after my doctors MD mean?
The correct term is FACP, which stands for Fellow of the American College of Physicians. It is a professional distinction granted to internists or pediatricians who have demonstrated sustained dedication to continuing medical education, professionalism, and leadership in internal medicine or pediatrics.
To earn the FACP, physicians must:
1. Meet certain requirements related to education, training, and years in practice.
2. Pass a rigorous knowledge assessment exam in internal medicine or pediatrics.
3. Demonstrate ongoing involvement in their field through presentations, publications, continuing medical education, and community engagement.
Once achieved, FAAC (or FRCP ) remains constant with their name (Dr.(Name),FACP/FRC
