The American Board of Surgery (ABS) requires 90 hours of Category 1 CME Credits every three years for Maintenance of Certification (MOC). The ABS stipulates: “MOC Part 2 requires the completion of 90 hours of Category I CME over a three-year MOC cycle. All CME must be relevant to the diplomate's practice, or if clinically inactive, to the broad discipline of surgery. Over the course of a three-year cycle, one-third of the Category I CME (i.e., 30 hours) must include a self-assessment activity. This will increase to 60 hours as of July 1, 2012.
