You should not self-report CME credit that is reported by the CME provider.  \nWhat do I do?  \nYou find a CME activity that will count for ABS CC credit and ask the accredited CME organization to report your credit via ACCME’s systems.  \nYou complete the activity offered by an accredited CME organization, meeting any evaluation requirements set by the CME organization.  \nYou give info necessary for CME organizations to report learner completion as well as your permission to share this information with ACCME and ABS.  \nThe CME organization reports your CME credits to the ABS within 30 days of you completing the activity.  \nABS now has a digital record of your participation in an activity, including the number and type of credits you earned.  \nHow can I find CME activities that will count towards my ABS CC requirements?  \n• ABS diplomates can use the CME Passport to search for relevant activities that have already been registered by CME organizations and will count towards your ABS CC requirements.  \n• CME credit acceptable for ABS CC must be AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ obtained from CME providers accredited in the ACCME System or providers accredited by Joint Accreditation for Interprofessional Continuing Education™ .  \n• Activities that count towards ABS CC requirements will include a statement to that effect.  \nWhat if the CME activity is not registered for ABS CC?  \n• If you engage in a CME activity that you would like counted towards your ABS CC requirements, ask the educational provider offering the CME activity to report your credit to ACCME.  \n• If the CME provider has questions about how to report your CME credit for ABS CC, please direct them to the ACCME ( [info@accme.org](info@accme.org)) and ACCME staff can walk them through the process.  \n• Physician interest and encouragement can be the best way to help drive CME organizations to expand CME activity offerings.  \nWhat Information do I need to give to CME providers?  \n• For CME organizations to report your activity completion information to the ABS, you need to provide three pieces of information: your First Name, Last Name, and Date of Birth (MM/DD only) . Note: If you know your ABS ID\\#, you may be asked to provide this as well.  \n• You will need to give the CME organization your permission to submit your participation data on your behalf to the ABS.  \n• If you are unsure of the exact steps to claim CME credit for ABS CC, reach out to the accredited CME organization  \n© 2022 Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME®) & American Board of Surgery (ABS) CME that Counts for ABS Continuous Certification – Information for ABS Diplomates","cbCaimMIoc3PcpWM","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimMIoc3PcpWM","pdf",227749,"English","# What’s new?\n# What do I do?\n# How can I find CME activities that will count towards my ABS CC requirements?\n# What if the CME activity is not registered for ABS CC?\n# What Information do I need to give to CME providers?","[{\"question\":\"How do ABS diplomates get CME credit counted toward ABS Continuous Certification (CC)?\",\"answer\":\"They locate an accredited CME activity that counts for ABS CC and ask the CME organization to report credit via ACCME’s systems.
