The American Board of Urology was organized in 1934 and was incorporated in 1935. The objective of the American Board of Urology is to identify for the patient and public those physicians who have satisfied the Board's criteria for certification and recertification in the specialty of urology.

The American Board of Urology and the various other specialty boards are members of the American Board of Medical Specialties. The American Board of Medical Specialties, in conjunction with the Residency Review Committee for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME), has established academic standards for specialization which the American Board of Urology, Inc, has adopted.
