Computer or technical issues, operator error, or difficulties arising from username or password problems, e.g., forgotten password or inability to log in to the American Board of Pediatrics (ABP) application system due to an inconsistency with the spelling of names, must be resolved and the application completed and submitted before the 3 p.m. ET deadline. Please be aware that it can take up to 48 business hours (excluding weekends) to resolve certain technical difficulties. The ABP makes every effort to assist with these issues promptly; however, applicants are responsible for verifying their ability to apply well before the deadline. No exceptions will be allowed for applicants who miss the application deadline.
Applicants who require test accommodations [2] must notify the ABP by submitting a completed New Request Form [3] (PDF) or Repeat Request Form [4] (PDF).
If you wish to withdraw your application and receive the refundable exam fee, the ABP must receive a signed notification by the deadline date. The processing and late fees, if applicable, will be retained by the ABP. Fees are not transferable.
