A Certificate of Added Qualification constitutes a modification of a general certificate or certificate of special qualification to reflect additional training of at least one year in length and satisfactory completion of a certifying examination in that field. The training required for added qualifications must incorporate a specific and identifiable body of knowledge within the broader practice of the general specialty. Certificates read, “Certified in (general field), with Added Qualification in (added field).”

Certification of added qualification requires maintenance of valid general or special qualification’s certification from which the added qualification was modified.
