If you received a letter of certification equivalence from the ABR on or before December 31, 2002 , you are not required to participate in the ABR Maintenance of Certification program. However participating in this program has a significant benefit in that, upon successful completion of the process, you will receive an ABR certificate and be listed as a diplomate of the ABR.
