Is my continuing certification status posted online for the public to see?
Yes. The ABD has a “Is My Dermatologist Certified?” tool which allows the public to search for your name and continuing certification status. Along with the other 24 ABMS specialty boards, the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) posts on its Certification Matters website the certification status of all ABD diplomates. Included in the status information is whether a diplomate with time-limited certification is "participating in MOC requirements." The ABMS includes a statement that diplomates with non-time-limited certificates are not required to participate in continuing certification.
