Certification Maintenance

The Certification Maintenance (CM) process is both an educational and contemporary tool meant to support Diplomates of ABOMS to increase their knowledge in the scope of the specialty. Each year, Diplomates are required to complete specific areas of assessment to maintain their certification. 

All CM activities can be found on Diplomate profiles. All CM requirements must be complete by December 31, 2024.
