Continuous Certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery includes continuous Self-Assessment and Practice Improvement throughout the ten year certification period. What is Continuous Certification? Before 1996, Board Certification Certificates issued by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) were lifetime. Certificates issued since 1995 are valid for ten years and all requirements must be met in order to continue certification for an additional ten year period. Initially this meant a recertification exam every ten years, but now it means continuous certification with specific tasks and shorter examinations every year. My ABPS Continuous Certification I received my first Board Certification in 1997, so every year I must pay a fee and complete a list of requirements. One facet of the requirements is that every April I have to take another examination. Today, I will share my results with you. https://www.sanfranciscoplasticsurgeryblog.com/why-board-certification-matters #BoardCertified #BoardCertifiedPlasticSurgeon #PlasticSurgery #PlasticSurgeon #CosmeticSurgery #CosmeticSurgeon #CosmeticPlasticSurgery #CosmeticPlasticSurgeon #DrMele #SanFrancisco #BayArea #SFBayArea #BoardCertification #MaintenanceOfCertification #ContinuousCertification #AmericanBoardOfPlasticSurgery #AmericanBoardOfSurgery #CirugiaPlastica #CirujanoPlastico #AmericanBoardOfCosmeticSurgery
