- Complete 16 Self-Assessment (SA) CME credits per 3-year block
- Complete one Patient Safety activity (one-time requirement)
- Complete one PIP activity (Clinical or Feedback Module) per 3-year block
- Choose either CC/recertification examination every 10 years OR ABCC Pathway (article-based) every three years
