Does board certification have an expiration date?

Category: Maintenance of Certification

Upon achieving board certification individuals are required to pay re-registration fees on an annual basis to maintain their board status. 

In addition, they are required to enroll in the ABPM Maintenance of Certification (MOC) Program.  The program outlines the re-credentialing requirements over the duration of the Diplomate’s 10-year cycle. The new Diplomate will receive further enrollment information for the MOC program.  Details and requirements of the program are available at the ABPM website. Enrollment begins the calendar year following the year in which the individual achieved board certification.
