The New Certification Maintenance Program
The new Certification Maintenance process will be available on Diplomate profiles for those with time limited certificates beginning the week of January 6th. Diplomates will only see what is required for them to complete during the year. ABOMS will send quarterly emails to remind Diplomates to complete Certification Maintenance.
