How Does Participation in the CMP Impact My Certification Status on ABIM's Website?

Your certification status will be listed as Certified when you are meeting your 5-year MOC points requirement AND meeting your 5-year attestation requirement (for interventional cardiologists) AND meeting your assessment requirement.

For the CMP this means:

• Starting the year that your assessment requirement is due, successful completion of the CMP meets your assessment requirement and extends your assessment due date by one year.
• For example, when you pass a CMP Performance Assessment in 2025, your assessment due date will advance to Dec. 31, 2026, etc.
• When you get to the end of a five-year CMP cycle, you simply start all over again.
• Over time, continuous engagement with the annual CMP will earn you more than enough MOC points to meet the MOC 100-point requirement every five years. However, if your 5-year MOC points requirement is due within the next 2-3 years, additional points may be necessary. You can use the non-CMP topics within your CMP SAP to earn additional MOC points if you need them.

Can I Use the CMP to Regain My Certification Status if My ABIM Certificate Has Lapsed?

No, currently the only "re-entry" pathways for a lapsed certificate are to:

• Take and pass the traditional 10-year MOC exam; or,
• Participate in ABIM's Longitudinal Knowledge Assessment (LKATM).
• Please note that because a decision on performance is not made until the end of the 5th year of LKA participation, a physician will be reported as "Not Certified" until that time. A physician whose certification has lapsed may use the traditional, 10-year MOC exam to restore certification more quickly.

You are required to start participating in the year your MOC assessment requirement is due. If your MOC assessment requirement is due in 2025, you can start participating in 2025. If your MOC assessment requirement is due in 2027, you can start participating in 2027.

However, ACC invites you to start early (now)! Enrolling in the CMP now lets you:

• Get into the habit of refreshing your knowledge of the field at a refreshing pace – focus on 20% of the field each year.
• Earn all the CME and MOC Medical Knowledge (Part II) points that you need.
• Gain experience taking Performance Assessments without the stress of achieving a passing score. You don't need to worry about passing until the year your MOC assessment requirement is due. Participation in the CMP prior to your due date does not change your due date.
• Learn if it's the best MOC assessment option for you. If it is, simply continue using it, and if it isn't, you can use the SAP as a study tool for a different MOC assessment option (such as ABIM's traditional 10-year exam).

When Can I Start Answering the CMP Practice Questions Each Year?

Start in early February! Each February, ACC will update the CMP SAPs with new science, guidelines and trials and reset the credit so you can start fresh.

Where Can I Find My CMP Hub?

You can find your CMP Hub on the dashboard of your CMP SAP:

1. On ACC.org, hover over the Education and Meetings tab on the top menu and select your CMP SAP product, or click on Education and Meetings and scroll down to select your CMP SAP Product under Self Assessment Programs.
2. Click on ACCSAP (or other CMP SAP) to initiate the login process.
3. Once logged in, you will notice four blue tiles. Click on the dark blue CMP Hub tile to access your hub which contains any assessment links.

My Institution Subscribes to CardioSource Plus. Will the CMP Be Available Through It?

• Your institution's subscription to CardioSource Plus includes the traditional elements of a SAP (text, presentations, and practice questions). It does not include the CMP. If you want to participate in the CMP, you will need to purchase your own personal version of the SAP.
• As long as you use the same ACC.org account to access the SAP through CardioSource Plus and to access your personal subscription to the SAP, your progress and usage data will be stored in one central location.
• CardioSource Plus users can order SAPs by:
• ENROLLING in the CMP, which will prompt you to buy the relevant SAP (technical difficulties prevent CardioSource Plus users from purchasing outside of enrollment).
• CALLING ACC's Member Care team at 800-253-4636, x5603 from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. ET.

You may receive a full refund by canceling your order within 7 days of purchase. Claiming any type of credit for the product during that time will make you ineligible for a refund.
