ABMS PORTFOLIO PROGRAM
BACKGROUND
Convergence Health is now a Portfolio Program Sponsor with the American Board of Medical Specialties Portfolio Program™ (ABMS Portfolio Program). Through the ABMS Portfolio Program, we can help physicians and physician assistants earn continuing certification (MOC) credit for their QI work from participating ABMS Member Boards or from the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants.
GETTING CREDIT
To participate, you must be enrolled in your certifying board(s) MOC program. To receive credit, you’ll be asked to complete an attestation of your work. Convergence Health will take care of the essential administrative tasks related to credit confirmation.
Currently, Convergence Health provides continuing certification credit for the following programs:
Implementing Diagnostic Excellence Across Systems (IDEAS) project
To receive credit, please complete and submit this attestation form by December 1 of each year. Once submitted, the completed and signed attestation will be retained by Convergence Health.
