Diplomates should keep documentation and enter CME and SAM participation into their password-protected database on
<a href="https://www.abronline.org" class="textlink">
www.abronline.org
</a>
</p>
<p>
NOTE:
<br />
CME credits and SAMs need not be done in the precise year specified in the table, however, a maximum of 50 CME and four SAMs may be applied toward your MOC requirements yearly.
</p>
<p>
PQI: Projects may be done as part of a practice group, department, institution, or society as well as by an individual. If you are participating in a project that is not individual, it is required that you evaluate your own personal data as a part of your PQI participation.
<br />
<br />
Outliers in terms of participation may be contacted to produce documentation of participation.
<br />
<br />
Diplomates may change project topic if data analysis shows that time may be better spent in improving another area.
