Locating Acceptable CME Activities - ABO Continuing Certification

Continuing Medical Education (CME) credit acceptable for ABO credit must be considered AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ and can be obtained from any ACCME-accredited CME provider.
At least 80% of all CME activities completed for ABO Continuing Certification must be specific to ophthalmology.
The ABO’s Quarterly Questions program counts for 8 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ from 2019 forward thanks to a joint providership agreement with the American Academy of Ophthalmology. Previous iterations of the Quarterly Questions program are eligible for 7.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™.
Direct CME credit from the AMA is available for certain educational and professional development activities, such as completing a fellowship or authoring an article in a peer-reviewed journal. Click here to visit the AMA’s website and learn more about these opportunities.
The ABMS Continuing Certification Directory provides a list of CME-bearing activities developed by accredited providers, both inside and outside the specialty of ophthalmology. Please note that activity completion is not automatically transferred to the ABO if you select an activity from this menu — you will still need to log in to the ABO website to attest to completion of any courses or activities. The ABO does not receive any funds from course fees associated with the ABMS menu.
