Engaging in any conduct that subverts or attempts to subvert the integrity of the examination or the ABO certification process is sufficient cause for the ABO to:
- Bar the candidate from the examination and/or future examinations;
- Terminate the candidate’s participation in the examination;
- Withhold and/or invalidate the results of the candidate’s examination;
- Withhold the candidate’s certificate;
- Revoke the candidate’s certificate;
- Require the candidate to pay the costs of the ABO’s investigation; and/or
- Take other appropriate action against the candidate, including legal action.
The ABO reserves the right to take whatever measures are necessary to protect the integrity of its examinations.
