The NBCE Board of Directors has announced that those individuals who received an NBCE Diplomate certificate prior to February 1983 may rightfully use that designation.
Unauthorized use of the NBCE Diplomate credential constitutes a fraudulent action. The NBCE takes whatever measures are within its scope of power to prevent the misuse of NBCE certificate or transcript information; beyond those measures, regretably, it can assume no responsibility for the assertion of inaccurate credentials by individuals in the field.
