| Mission | Founded in 1916, the American Board of Ophthalmology (ABO) is an independent, not-for-profit organization and the nation's first medical specialty certifying board. Its mission is to serve the public by certifying ophthalmologists through the verification of competencies. | MissionDesc |
| Significant New Program Srvc | 0 | SignificantNewProgramSrvcInd |
| Significant Change | 0 | SignificantChangeInd |
| Desc | Board Certification: Since 1916, 33,703 ophthalmologists have voluntarily elected to meet the rigorous certification standards established by the American Board of Ophthalmology. The first medical specialty board founded in the United States, the American Board of Ophthalmology awards the only medical specialty certificate in ophthalmology recognized by both the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) and the American Medical Association (AMA). Certification is granted to ophthalmologists who meet a series of accredited medical training requirements in ophthalmology; sign a practice pledge indicating their intent to practice with compassion, integrity, and respect for human dignity; and complete an intensive evaluation process that includes both a written qualifying examination and an oral examination. Physicians who meet all of the requirements for initial certification become diplomates of the board and earn a certificate valid for a period of 10 years. Since the early 1990s, all diplomates who elect to retain an active certificate participate in periodic assessments of knowledge, judgment, and skill in addition to demonstrating a commitment to practice improvement. This process has been termed Continuing Certification.Successful candidates are certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology for a period of ten years. The ABO issued initial certificates to 501 ophthalmologists in 2023. | Desc |

| Desc | Continuing Certification embodies the principles of career-long learning and continuous improvement for the benefit of the public and the profession and aims to:1) establish and maintain high standards for patient care;2) provide physicians with the means to continually assess and improve their ability to meet these standards;3) ensure that physicians are being assessed by reliable and valid measures to continually improve patient care.Standards for high-quality ophthalmic care are based on six general competencies: patient care, medical knowledge, practice-based learning and improvement, interpersonal and communication skills, professionalism, and systems-based practice. The ABO, along with other surgical certifying boards, also recognizes a seventh competency in surgical or procedural skills.The ABO's continuing certification process is the only one for eye care specialists that is recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties. The ABO recertified 1,062 ophthalmologists in 2023. | Desc |

| Explanation | The ABO accounts for uncertainties in income taxes in accordance with authoritative guidance, which prescribes a recognition threshold of more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authority. Measurement of the tax uncertainty occurs if the recognition threshold has been met. During the year ended 2023, the ABO did not identify any uncertain tax positions that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. Tax returns filed by the ABO are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years. While no income tax returns are currently being examined by the Internal Revenue Service, tax years since 2020 remain open. The ABO's policy is to recognize interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses. | ExplanationTxt |

| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c | The ABO's Conflict of Interest policy is sent to all members of the Board of Directors and all employees each year. Each person is required to acknowledge, in writing, receipt and review of the policy and to disclose any known, potential, or perceived conflicts. The Governance Committee reviews the disclosure forms, seeks further information when potential conflicts are identified, and works with the individuals to eliminate the conflicts. If a board member has a conflict that cannot be eliminated, he or she is recused from any relevant decisions. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 | The ABO pays Board of Directors travel, lodging, and meal expenses (up to $75 per day) and provides a $9,000 annual stipend. The Board of Directors participate in approximately nine days of business meetings per year. In addition to meetings, the board directors work without compensation approximately 10% or 4 hours per week on ABO-related activities. Total compensation for individual directors may vary based on their participation in additional ABO activities. The consideration for the CEO salary is composed of several inputs: current compensation, market review of compensation of comparable ABMS Executive Directors, performance review, ABO financial status, and any other information that may be deemed relevant.

A 2019 compensation evaluation conducted by an outside consultant group showed that CEO compensation is fair and competitive. A 2022 compensation evaluation conducted by an outside consultant group showed that staff compensation is fair and competitive. Staff compensation ranges are determined based on job scope and performance in reference to an independent salary survey that includes both national and local benchmarks. This survey is conducted every two to three years with annual updates. |
