Family Medicine Certification Longitudinal Assessment
If you are currently certified, are in your 10th year of certification, and due to take the exam before December 31, 2019, you have a choice to participate in the new Family Medicine Certification Longitudinal Assessment (FMCLA) pilot. This an alternative to taking the one-day exam that delivers 25 exam questions quarterly for you to do flexibly on your own time, at the location of your choice on your computer or tablet.
