Dr. Drew Smith Recertifies

Family Medicine Specialist Dr. Drew Smith of Golden Valley Medical-Warsaw has successfully completed the Recertification Examination from the American Board of Family Medicine (ABFM). Board certification confers a standard of excellence in knowledge and practice to physicians who not only certify via the examination process, but who also work diligently on the maintenance of these skills during the seven-year cycle between examinations.

To achieve Board Recertification by the ABFM, a family physician must verify the completion of 300 hours of acceptable continuing medical education over the past six years, possess a full and unrestricted license to practice medicine in the United States, and successfully complete a one-day, written examination of cognitive knowledge and problem-solving abilities. This examination covers the disciplines of the specialty including, but not limited to: adult medicine; care of newborns, infants, children, and adolescents; maternity and gynecological care; community medicine; care of the older patient; human behavior and mental health; and care of the surgical patient.

Board certified in Family Medicine, Dr. Smith received his medical degree from the University of Iowa in Iowa City, Iowa.  He completed his residency at the Broadlawns Medical Center in Des Moines, Iowa. Dr. Smith also provides obstetrical services with appointments available at both Golden Valley Medical-Warsaw and Golden Valley Medical-Clinton. Congratulations Dr. Smith.
