Part II of your ABEM MOC requirements is Lifelong Learning and Self-Assessment, or LLSA.
To complete it, you must:
- Pass four LLSA tests in years 1 through 5 of your certification and four LLSA tests in years 6 through 10 of your certification, and
- Report 25 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ per year, averaged over each 5-year period.
Your deadlines for completing these requirements depend on your certification expiration date.
To check your own personal certification status and requirements, go to the ABEM website and log on to ABEM MOC Online.
For more information, go to the ABEM MOC Lifelong Learning and Self-Assessment resources on the ABEM website, or call ABEM, 517-332-4800, or e-mail moc@abem.org.
