The ABOS will be closed on Monday, May 29th for Memorial Day.
The ABOS is temporarily extending IT hours to help those uploading documents and images for the upcoming Oral Examinations. Starting May 27th, IT hours will be weekends 10 am-5 pm ET (including Memorial Day) and weekdays 9 am- 8 pm ET.
If you choose to participate in the ABOS WLA, you must have already earned a Quality Year. If you did not, you must wait until your next 10-year MOC cycle starts.
You must achieve five consecutive Quality Years. A Quality Year is achieved by correctly answering 24 out of 30 questions.
If you do not earn a Quality Year each year for the next five years, you must then take an ABOS Computer-Based or Oral Recertification Examination.
You must submit your Recertification Application, Application Fee, Case List, and CME/SAE requirements by December 1, 2023 (can also apply as early as 2022).
