When requested, the CME credits that physicians earn from this activity will be submitted to ACCME's CME Passport, a free, centralized web application where you can create a personalized account to view, track, and generate transcripts of your reported CME credit. Please note that you must create an account with CME Passport in order to use this service. Visit www.cmepassport.org to create an account.

Successful completion of this CME activity, which includes participation in the evaluation component, enables the learner to earn credit toward the CME and Patient Safety requirements of the American Board of Thoracic Surgery’s Maintenance of Certification program. It is the CME activity provider's responsibility to submit learner completion information to ACCME for the purpose of granting ABTS credit. By claiming ABTS MOC via this form, you authorize Promedica International (the accredited provider) to submit the hours you claimed to the ABTS on your behalf. 

In order to ensure that the ABTS MOC Points will count toward any MOC requirements for 2026, the form must be submitted by December 18, 2026.

If you would like us to report your credits to the ABTS, you must enter your ABTS number below.

Successful completion of this CME activity, which includes participation in the evaluation component, enables the learner to earn credit toward the CME of the American Board of Surgery’s Continuous Certification program. It is the CME activity provider's responsibility to submit learner completion information to ACCME for the purpose of granting ABS credit. By claiming ABS points via this form, you authorize Promedica International (the accredited provider) to submit the hours you claimed to the ABS on your behalf. 

In order to ensure that the ABS Points will count toward any MOC requirements for 2026, the form must be submitted by December 18, 2026.

If you would like us to report you points to the ABS, you must enter your ABS number below.

Successful completion of this CME activity, which includes participation in the evaluation component, enables the participant to earn up to 18 Medical Knowledge MOC points and Patient Safety MOC credit in the American Board of Internal Medicine's (ABIM) Maintenance of Certification (MOC) program. Participants will earn MOC points equivalent to the amount of CME credits claimed for the activity. It is the CME activity provider’s responsibility to submit participant completion information to ACCME for the purpose of granting ABIM MOC credit.

Please Note:

It is the CME activity provider’s responsibility to submit participant completion information to the ACCME for the purpose of granting ABIM MOC credit. By claiming ABIM MOC points via this form, you authorize Promedica International (the accredited provider) to submit the hours you claimed to the ABIM on your behalf. 

In order to ensure that the MOC Points will count toward any MOC requirements for 2026, the form must be submitted by December 18, 2026.

If you would like us to report your MOC Points to the ABIM, you must enter your 6-digit ABIM number below.
