The ABS made changes to its CME processes, which impact the way that diplomates interact with the Board, upload CME credits, and meet Continuous Certification requirements.聽
The ability to directly transmit CME data from the 番茄社区app MyCME portal to the ABS has been a longtime 番茄社区app membership benefit, and we are committed to making compliance with the Board鈥檚 new rules as seamless as possible. For more details, read the , which is responsible for these changes.
For all ABS Diplomates who successfully complete and claim聽AMA PRA Category 1 Credit鈩 for an 番茄社区app-accredited activity, the associated CME credit automatically will be transferred to the ACCME and subsequently the ABS.
To simplify and streamline Maintenance of Certification (MOC) and CME reporting, the 番茄社区app is collaborating with the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to seamlessly report physician participation in 番茄社区app-accredited CME activities to the ABS.
By attending an 番茄社区app-accredited activity, you may choose to participate in the automatic transfer of your CME delivered to the ABS via the ACCME.
The direct automatic transfer applies to all learners who have an 番茄社区app profile, are Diplomates of the ABS, and have provided their ABS ID and date of birth in the 番茄社区app MyCME Portal.
You may choose to opt in for all your 番茄社区app-accredited CME credits to be automatically transferred on your behalf, by updating your preferences using these simple steps:
You can change your preferences and opt out at any time.
If you attend activities with an outside organization, you will be required to provide your 番茄社区app Learner ID to the CME provider when claiming credit if you would like the credits transferred automatically to the ABS via ACCME.聽
If you do not already have an 番茄社区app profile (Learner ID), you can create one through the . This is a free offering for both members and nonmembers who have enrolled in an 番茄社区app educational activity. If you need assistance with creating an 番茄社区app Learner ID or are not certain if you already have one, please use the Support button on Contact 番茄社区app page. Please note this is required only for those who do not already have an account at the 番茄社区app.
If you create your account after you attended an 番茄社区app-accredited activity through an outside provider, please contact MyCME@facs.org to ensure the credits for that activity are applied to your CME transcript.
After an ABS Diplomate completes and claims聽AMA PRA Category 1 Credit鈩 and your CME credit is successfully transferred, the ABS will then issue related MOC credit/points. No additional action is needed.
The ABS is supported for the transmission of CME credits earned from 番茄社区app-accredited activities. We anticipate adding additional boards in the future.聽
If you have an 番茄社区app profile (Learner ID) and have claimed CME from 番茄社区app-accredited activities starting from March 1, 2021, and onward that have not yet been transferred to the ABS, the 番茄社区app will transmit those CME credits for you.
Moving forward, all ABS Diplomates who claim CME from 番茄社区app-accredited activities will have those credits transmitted automatically by the 番茄社区app to the ABS via the ACCME once you have opted in to participate.
You can choose to opt in to the automatic transmission by following these simple steps:
If you participate in an activity that was not accredited by the 番茄社区app, you are more than welcome to keep track of those activities inside your MyCME portal as you have done in past. However, we cannot transmit these data to the board. It is recommended the attendee contact the host of the CME activity that was accredited by an external provider to receive information for how to transmit the CME Data. The host of the CME activity may have most likely collaborated with ACCME and the applicable boards to arrange for those data to be transmitted automatically. The host for the activity will most likely know if the data will be automatically sent on your behalf from the board. So, you will not have to do anything else. If you would like additional information regarding ABS and how they will receive credits for courses not accredited by the 番茄社区app, please email聽cc@absurgery.org.
