Individuals whose certificates have expired are no longer diplomates of the ABMGG. For one year post-certification loss, diplomates will be in a grace period to catch up on any Continuing Certification delinquencies. Successful completion by the deadline will re-gain your 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 two 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.
