IMPORTANT CME REPORTING INFORMATION. PLEASE READ:
1. If you do not already have an ACS ID, you can create one through the
MyCME Portal. This is a free offering for both members and nonmembers who have enrolled in an ACS educational activity such as the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery 41st Annual Scientific Meeting. If you need assistance with your ACS ID, contact
Log-In Help.
2. Please note that CME data is not automatically transferred to the American Board of Surgery (ABS) and you must follow instructions on this page (
https://www.facs.org/for-medical-professionals/education/tools-and-platforms/mycme/) in order to transmit data to the ABS after the attendance list has been uploaded.
3. Due to the collaboration between the ABS and the ACCME, ABS Diplomates are no longer able to manually self-report credits as of July 1, 2023. Per this article
https://www.absurgery.org/default.jsp?news_abscme0223, the relationship was designed to:
a) Simplify the reporting of CME credits directly to ABS;
b) Allow surgeons to spend more time on their own professional development and less time managing credits and requirements; and
c) Streamline the search for relevant CME activities locally and nationally.
