Candidates & Diplomates
Did you miss our presentations in Chicago?
At the AAOMS Annual Meeting, the Board of Directors presented on its new Certification Maintenance (CM) program prepared to launch in January of 2020. Dr. Cunningham went into detail about the new CM model and how Diplomates will be affected by this change. If you missed the presentation, you can download and review the slides.
In addition to the CM presentation, the Board also presented alongside ROAAOMS about the certification process. You can download the presentation, if you were unable to attend tor would like a chance to review the slides once again.
