• Complete 24 Self-Assessment (SA) CME credits per 3-year block (average of 8 SA credits per year)
• Complete one Patient Safety activity (one-time requirement)
• Complete one PIP activity (Clinical or Feedback Module) per 3-year block
• Choose either CC/recertification examination every 10 years OR ABCC Pathway (article-based) every three years

These requirements must be met during each 3-year block of the continuous certification program. CME activities do not need to be ABPN-approved, but Self-Assessment activities must be selected from the ABPN Approved Products List.
