چکیده
Dr. Derrick Tilton Vail first proposed the notion of a specialty medical board in 1908 in his presidential address to the American Academy of Ophthalmology and Otolaryngology.

Dr. Vail’s suggestion was to establish a body that would define specialty qualifications, supervise examinations that test the preparation of specialists, and issue credentials to assure the public of that individual’s qualifications.1
