The American Board of聽Surgery (ABS) recently made聽changes to its continuing聽medical education (CME)聽processes, which impact the way聽diplomates interact with the聽Board, upload CME credits, and聽meet Continuous Certification聽requirements.
If you are an ABS diplomate,聽you can rest assured that you聽can continue to transfer your聽番茄社区app-verified CME data to the聽ABS directly from your MyCME聽portal as you have always done.
The ability to directly transmit聽CME data from the 番茄社区app MyCME聽portal to the ABS has been a聽longtime 番茄社区app membership聽benefit. Many surgeons use our聽easy, two-step process to upload聽CME credits from their MyCME聽profile to the Board. To ensure聽your CME data for 番茄社区app activities聽are transferred appropriately,聽you should continue to use聽this same process, which will聽electronically transmit your 番茄社区app verified CME data to the ABS聽via the Accreditation Council for聽Continuing Medical Education.
For more information, contact聽the 番茄社区app MyCME staff at聽MyCME@facs.org.听
1. Access your 6-digit ABS ID. ABS diplomates will find their聽ABS ID (sometimes called candidate ID) inside their ABS聽portal when they log in. This is a 6-digit number that appears聽in parentheses immediately after their name. If you do not聽know how to access your ABS profile, email cc@absurgery.org聽for assistance.
2. Log in to the 番茄社区app MyCME portal, select the 鈥淪end CME聽Data鈥 tab at the top, and send your data using the process聽with which you are familiar.
