The American Board of Surgery is an independent nonprofit organization established in 1937 to certify surgeons who meet defined standards of education, training, and knowledge in surgery. To obtain ABS certification, surgeons must complete at least five years of postmedical-school training and pass a written and oral examination administered by ABS, with ongoing learning activities used to maintain certification. Certification is voluntary and signals a commitment to lifelong learning and high-quality patient care, distinguishing ABS-certified surgeons in general surgery and related specialties from those who only hold a medical license.

ABS offers board certification across general surgery and several subspecialties, including vascular surgery, pediatric surgery, surgical critical care, hand surgery, and complex general surgical oncology. It is one of the 24 member boards of the American Board of Medical Specialties. Based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the organization operates as a mid-sized nonprofit in the health care sector. In 2024, coverage noted recognition of ABS's marketing team at the Swaay.Health Conference.
