Abstract
Geriatric psychiatry was the first subspecialty area for which The American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, Inc. (ABPN) offered an examination for added qualifications. The American Board of Medical Specialties approved the proposed specialty in 1989, and the first examination was administered in 1991 to 661 candidates, and the second, 1 year later, to 578 candidates. This paper describes the test development and standard-setting procedures, test results, and candidates' feedback about the examination.
