After passing the MDS Exam, will general dermatology non-time-limited ("lifetime") certificate holders need to participate in continuing certification?

Individuals who hold non-time-limited certificates in dermatology and become certified in MDS will continue to have non-time-limited certification in general dermatology, but will have a time-limited certification in MDS. Maintaining certification in MDS requires participating in continuing certification for the subspecialty only; the MOC Exam module in General Dermatology is not required to maintain the MDS certificate.
