Re: 2006 ABOG Recertification ExaminationFrom: Dean Huffman . (dean@thehuffpeople.net)Tue Jan 24 19:33:19 2006
.. In all (I think) USA boards, certification is for a limited time now. OB/GYN was one of the first to have limited time certification. Those certified before about 1988 (give or take a few years) were certified for life. Starting some time around 1988 (give or take), those being certified were certifiec for only 10 years. Starting a few years ago, certification was for only six years. When certification expires, in order to maintain board certification, one has to re-certify. In OB/GYN thre are (I believe) two methods of re-certification. One is to take a written exam which is good for six years. The other way is to do an annual exam that is good for one year. Currently the examination consists of reading a number of articles and answering a certain number of questions correctly. The method of annual re-certification may change in a year or two.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
