Academy activities that count for ABO Continuing Certification credit can now be transferred directly to the ABO from your Academy CME Central page. To do so, simply log in to CME Central, enter your ABO ID in the box located in the upper right corner of the page, and click save. (You can find your ABO ID at the top of your ABO Status Page.) Then, click the “Transfer CME Credits to the ABO” button. Please note, you must transfer your CME to the ABO after each AAO course is completed in order to receive ABO Continuing Certification credit.
The Improvement in Medical Practice section of your ABO Status Page will update to reflect completion of the activity and you will receive a confirmation email from the ABO for your records.
If you do not save your ABO ID on CME Central prior to completing the course, please email the ABO at moc@abop.org with proof of course completion and allow up to 5 business days for the credit to be reflected on your ABO Status Page.
