*ABFM diplomate status is accurate as of January 2007

**The ABFM typically requires graduation from a family practice residency program by June 30 to be eligible to sit for the certification examination in July. All graduates in 2007 are included in the denominator for this percentage, including those who completed their residency program after June 30, 2007 - too late to sit for the Board examination.
