Continuing Certification Update: More Than 90% of OLA Participants Are Meeting Annual Requirements
December 2021;14(6):13
As the end of the year approaches, there are a few things to keep in mind for Online Longitudinal Assessment (OLA) participants. First, make sure you have completed your question requirements for 2021. For most diplomates, this will be 52 questions per certificate. As of mid-November, 91.25% of participants are meeting their annual OLA requirements. If you are among those who need to catch up, you have several opportunities remaining before the end of the month.
Second, if you met your requirements months ago and have been taking a break, don’t forget to start again in the new year. Even if you have reached 200 total questions answered, you need to continue to meet your annual question requirements every year. Your annual performance evaluation on January 1 will include your most recently answered 200 scorable questions.
For diagnostic radiology and interventional radiology diplomates, please see the article in your respective section in this issue for information about changes to the practice profile rules that will allow you more flexibility in selecting your clinical practice areas beginning January 1, 2022.
If you have questions about OLA, please contact a certification services manager at information@theabr.org or (520) 790-2900.
