Use MyCME to manage your CME credit at your convenience. With MyCME, you can view, upload, and track CME activities; electronically share CME Credits; and reflect on and plan your future learning.
If you are a diplomate of the American Board of Surgery (ABS), you need to be aware of changes that the ABS recently made to its CME processes. These changes impact the way that diplomates interact with the Board, upload CME credits, and meet Certification requirements.
The ability to directly transmit CME data from the ACS MyCME portal to the ABS has been a longtime ACS membership benefit, and the ACS is committed to making compliance with the Board’s new rules as seamless as possible. For more details, read the agreement between the ABS and Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education, which is responsible for these changes.
Many surgeons have previously used the easy, two-step process to upload CME credits from their ACS MyCME profile to the ABS. That same process can be followed now to remain in compliance, but those who are affected must ACT NOW! The ACS will be able to support your efforts to upload all of your CME credits until April 3.
It is now easier than ever to track state and specialty requirements, transmit data to state boards, plan educational activities, track credits, and more.
