The American Board of Surgery (ABS) requires 90 hours of Category 1 CME Credits every three years for Maintenance of Certification (MOC). The ABS stipulates: “MOC Part 2 requires the completion of 90 hours of Category I CME over a three-year MOC cycle. All CME must be relevant to the diplomate’s practice, or if clinically inactive, to the broad discipline of surgery.” As of July 1, 2012, the ABS requires that 60 (previously 30) of the 90 Category I CME hours completed over a three-year MOC cycle include a self-assessment activity.
