Continuing Medical Education (CME)

Continuing Medical Education is a key component of the lifelong learning requirement. All diplomates participating in Maintenance of Certification (MOC) must obtain an average of 25 Category 1 CME credits per year from an Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) approved organization as of the date of certification and throughout the 10 year MOC cycle. At least 80 percent of the Category I CME credits must be relevant to the practice of ophthalmology; the remainder of the CME credit hours can be in general medicine.

CMEs may be submitted at any time via the CME Tracking Tool located within the Online Services Center. To log a course into the tracking system, the information must include: course name, sponsor, location, dates and number of credits earned for each course completed. The CME tracking tool will automatically calculate and store this information.

As of 2012, CME submissions will only be accepted by the ABO through the CME Tracking Tool.
