Yes. To maintain ABOG certification, diplomates will be required to continue to participate in ABOG’s Continuing Certification (CC) program and complete all annual CC requirements for OB-GYN and any relevant subspecialties. ABIM does have a reciprocity policy to help streamline your requirements. ABIM diplomates who are dual boarded by one or more of the other ABMS Member Boards can have the MOC points requirement waived.

Diplomates who are eligible to receive this reciprocal credit will see a feature box at the bottom of the ABIM Physician Portal. They can click on the feature to attest to being currently certified by and participating in the other Board's MOC program.

Diplomates still need to meet other ABIM MOC requirements: maintaining a valid, unrestricted, and unchallenged medical license, passing a secure ABIM MOC assessment, and meeting any other ABIM-specific subspecialty procedural requirements.

ABIM will email all pertinent details to diplomates who want to maintain their HPM certificate. Be sure to check your email inbox regularly to stay informed by ABIM. Learn more here about ABIM’s MOC program. You may also email request@ABIM.org or call 1-800-441-ABIM for information.
