What are the ABR requirements for CME at the March 1st MOC attestation?

Adapted from the official ABR Blog article written by Orbit founder Ram Srinivasan MD PhD.

75 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits^TM over the past three years

Earn 75 AMA PRA Category 1 CreditsTM over the past three years. The technically correct way to count this is to add all Category 1 CME that you completed between March 1 of the current year and January 1 of three years ago. For example, between January 1, 2016, and March 1, 2019. However, if you've completed 75 credits between March 1 of the current year and March 1 of three years prior, you'll have satisfied the ABR requirement. The Dashboard view in Orbit makes it easy to tally your credit over the past three years.

 

25 Self-assessment CME (SA-CME) credits over the past three years

Record 25 Self-assessment CME (SA-CME) credits over the past three years. Self-assessment credits are sometimes called self-assessment modules (SAMs) or self-assessment CME (SA-CME). In order to count your activity toward SA-CME, it needs to satisfy two criteria: The course should be AMA PRA Category 1 Credit^TM, and it should have a self-assessment component.

 

Orbit satisfies radiology and self-assessment requirements

The credit you earn in Orbit satisfies both radiology and self-assessment requirements. It turns out that multiple choice is not the only type of self assessment. Any enduring Category 1 CME activity that involves a reflective process on your learning qualifies for SA-CME. The term “enduring” refers to a print or web-based activity that does not have a specific time or location designated for participation.
