New Monthly Notification for MOC Points Earned Expand/Collapse the ABIM alert.

Beginning this fall, ABIM will transition to sending monthly email summaries of CME/MOC points earned instead of immediate notifications. This means you’ll receive fewer emails, while still being able to track your points in real time in your Physician Portal.

ABIM will be closed from 1:00 p.m. Friday, 8/29/25 through Monday, 9/1/25 Expand/Collapse the ABIM alert.

Our offices will re-open on Tuesday, 9/2/25 at 8:30 a.m. ET. For your convenience, you may contact us by email at request@abim.org.

  • Have satisfactorily completed the six-year combined program
  • Be certified by ABIM
  • Have met the certification requirements of ABEM
