The ABOG CC program is a continuous professional development process to ensure that ABOG-certified physicians maintain a high level of knowledge, judgment, and skills in their specialty and/or subspecialty throughout their careers.
The goals of the CC program are:
1. to promote professional standards,
2. to advance scientific knowledge by supporting lifelong learning, and
3. to foster improvements in Health and Health Care.
These goals are achieved through the 4-part CC process.
I. Professional Standing, Professionalism, & Professional Conduct
II. Lifelong Learning & Self-Assessment
III. Assessment of Knowledge, Judgment & Skills
IV. Improving Health and Health Care
The CC program is designed over a 6-year cycle. However, diplomates must complete requirements annually. After completion of each 6-year cycle, a new cycle begins the following year.
