Diplomates who are behind only in the most recent three-year certification cycle will have a one-year grace period to catch up on any Continuing Certification delinquencies. Successful completion of all requirements by the deadline will allow a diplomate to re-gain certification and access to the ABMGG Portal.
After the one-year grace period, to become recertified, diplomate must:
- Notify the ABMGG of intent to re-enter Continuing Certification
- Pay the re-entry fee to return to the Continuing Certification program
- Take the primary certifying examination in their specialty
The above activities must be completed within five years of loss of certification. Until you satisfactorily complete these three requirements, you are not considered to be certified by the ABMGG and do not have diplomate status.
If more than five (5) years have passed since the loss of certification, notify the ABMGG of your intent to regain your certification and complete the
provided intent form. Our full policy for re-entry following 5-years post-certification loss can be found on our Policies page under “Continuing Certification”.
Please email StayCertified@abmgg.org to declare your interest with recertification.
