In order to receive ABIM MOC for this CME activity each participant will need to make sure that the information on their profile for the CME platform (where his activity is located) is updated with 1) Their DOB-Month and Day only and 2) That they have selected that they are board certified in the profile via the ABIM. When this selection is made they will be required to enter their ABIM number. (Which is assigned via the ABIM). Participants will earn MOC points equivalent to the amount of CME credits claimed for the activity. The Lippincott Continuing Medical Education Institute will submit participant completion information to ACCME for the purpose of granting ABIM MOC Points.
