The American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM), the top authority in internal medicine and its subspecialties, has certified a physician at OSF Saint Luke Medical Center in Kewanee in internal medicine. The accreditation was granted to Kewanee’s Dr. James Lindbom, MD, after he proved to the public and his peers that he possesses the clinical judgment, abilities, and attitudes necessary for providing exceptional patient care.
At the OSF Medical Group in Kewanee, where he practices internal medicine, Dr. Lindbom treats patients in both the emergency room and his office. Dr. Lindbom stated, “I am pleased to be part of the team at OSF Saint Luke and proud to be board-certified by the ABIM.” Dr. Lindbom is committed to keeping his medical knowledge current to better serve his community and patients. He is a proud member of the ABIM community, which was established more than 85 years ago, and continues to uphold the highest standards in internal medicine and its subspecialties.
Board certification is voluntary and includes a rigorous exam that tests a physician’s ability to diagnose and treat patients with a broad range of conditions. To maintain certification, physicians can participate in activities that assess knowledge of the latest scientific developments and changes in practice and specialty areas.
Internists and subspecialists who earn and maintain board certification from ABIM differentiate themselves every day through their specialized knowledge and commitment to continual learning in the service of their patients. Dr. Lindbom has been serving the Kewanee community for over 25 years. “I am more than just a doctor. I am a listener. I am an expert. I am a problem solver. I am an ABIM board-certified physician.”
