Names cert board clean
Exactnames_cert_board_cleanDeterministic and authoritative — the canonical answer for this input.
Clean a certification board name (e.g. 'american board of internal medicine' → 'American Board of Internal Medicine'): strips abbreviation prefixes ('ABIM - ...'), a leading 'The', and trailing parenthetical abbreviations, then applies the same smart title casing as names_org_name_clean (without that tool's legal-entity-suffix restore — board names do not carry LLC-style suffixes). A bare acronym is canonicalized to uppercase ('abim' or 'ABIM' → 'ABIM'), and known certifying-board acronyms entered in caps (ABMS, ABPN, PNCB, and the like) stay caps mid-phrase; an unrecognized all-caps word is still title-cased like any other. Processing multiple inputs? Use `names_cert_board_clean_batch` to do up to 1000 in one call.

}FAQ
What does this do for me?
It turns messy certification board names into one clean form. It strips a leading abbreviation prefix like 'ABIM-', drops a leading 'The', and removes a trailing abbreviation in parentheses like '(PNCB)', so the same board reads the same way every time.
Is the result reliable, or is it a guess?
It is deterministic and repeatable. The same input always returns the same cleaned name, so you can trust it as the canonical answer rather than a best guess.
What does it NOT do?
It does not verify that the board actually exists or look it up against any official registry. It only tidies the text you give it. It also will not correct misspellings inside the name.
What happens if I send a blank or junk value?
You get a result with confidence 0 and a short reason, not an error. Check the confidence before using the output, and treat 0 as 'nothing usable here'.
When should I use the board cleaner instead of the organization cleaner?
Use this one for certification or specialty board names, where prefixes and parenthetical abbreviations are the usual mess. Use the organization name cleaner for hospitals, practices, and facility names that mainly need proper capitalization.
