As of 2007 self-assessment is required of active Diplomates, regardless of age, who hold lifetime certificates (certificates issued prior to 1994) and who are in the 10th year of their re-credentialing cycle.
Lifetime certificate holders may continue to re-credential through the self-assessment examination or may elect to enter the Continuing Certification (CC) process.
For more information, please refer to our dedicated Continuing Certification FAQ page.
