FAQs — CME Credits
What types of CME credits are accepted for ABAI MOC?
ABAI accepts AMA PRA Category 1TM Credit(s) in Allergy/Immunology-related activities. The relevance of the activity is determined by the title printed on the certificate. CME activities outside the field of Allergy/Immunology will be reviewed by ABAI and approved on a case-by-case basis. Activities such as a course on wilderness medicine, for instance, will likely not be approved.
How do I submit proof of my CME credits?
Some activities are reported directly to ABAI, including all AAAAI activities and any modules completed as part of MOC requirements. Otherwise, ABAI requests that copies of CME credit certificates are submitted electronically via the Web Portal or email. They can also be faxed or mailed to the office. Each certificate must clearly state the title of the activity, sponsoring organization, number of credits awarded, and date the activity was completed.
Will ABAI actually check all of my CME credits?
ABAI will audit the CME credits of approximately 10% of its Diplomates annually.
If I don't get 25 CME credits one year but have 50 the next year, will the credits be averaged?
The ABAI requires 25 CME credits per year in keeping with the character of a continuous learning process. If a Diplomate does not meet the CME requirement each year, they will be listed as "Not Meeting MOC Requirements" until such time that the requirement is completed. Diplomates should contact the office with any extenuating circumstances if the annual CME requirement cannot be completed.
