Self-assessment and Continuing Medical Education (CME) Component of Maintenance of Certification (MOC)

Self-assessment

ABPN diplomates are required to participate in self-assessment activities covering new knowledge and/or current best practices in one or more of the competency areas, and provide feedback to the diplomate that can be used as the basis for focused Continuing Medical Education (CME) and/or career development.

To learn more about self-assessment visit the AAN's NeuroSAE® (Neurology Self-Assessment Examination).

Continuing Medical Education (CME)

Diplomates of the ABPN are required to complete an average of 30 specialty or subspecialty Category 1 CME credits per year over the 10-year MOC cycle. CME activities must be accredited by ACCME or by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, and CME must be relevant to the specialty in which the diplomate is certified.
