Due to the disruption in administering certification exams during the COVID-19 pandemic and through 2021, the following ABMS Member Boards have opted to provide an extension of the certification date for their physicians and their Certification Status will remain Certified:
- American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology (12/31/22)
American Board of Internal Medicine
- Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on March 8, 2021 ABIM announced an extension of all Maintenance of Certification (MOC) requirements allowing diplomates to complete those requirements for 2020 and 2021 as late as 12/31/2022 without penalty or lapse of certification. While this is clearly reflected in the ABIM systems, for technical reasons related to the ABIM data storage requirements the ABMS report does not reflect the COVID-19 extensions. This can result in a non-consequential gap between the original certificate expiration date and the actual recertification completion date.
