If your exam requirement is due in 2025, you will soon begin the new Continuous Certification 5-Year Cycle. You are NOT required to take the one-day exam before you begin the 5-Year Cycle. Instead, you’ll complete the longitudinal assessment to meet your exam requirement. You will begin the longitudinal assessment on January 1, 2025, if that is the year your exam is due. When participating in the longitudinal assessment, you will answer 25 online exam questions every quarter over three to four years until you have reached 300 total. You can choose whatever day, time, and location you wish to answer these timed questions. You can use references just as you would in your own practice, and you will receive immediate feedback on what you got right or wrong. If your exam requirement is due in 2025, registration for the 5-Year Cycle is now available in your MyABFM Portfolio. We’re here to help! If you need assistance logging in or have any questions related to the 5-Year Cycle, please contact the ABFM Support Center at 877-223-7437 or help@theabfm.org. 5-YEAR CYCLE: 3 THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT THE EXAM REQUIREMENT News & Insights January 2, 2026 Advancing CKSA: Integrating Spaced Repetition to Strengthen Knowledge Retention Go to Advancing CKSA: Integrating Spaced Repetition to Strengthen Knowledge Retention December 12, 2025 ABFM Partners with Stanford University to Expand PRIME Registry and Advance Health Data Research Go to ABFM Partners with Stanford University to Expand PRIME Registry and Advance Health Data Research October 24, 2025 Congratulations to our Colleagues Elected to the NAM Class of 2025 Go to Congratulations to our Colleagues Elected to the NAM Class of 2025 October 15, 2025 President’s Message: Enduring Commitments in a Time of Change Go to President’s Message: Enduring Commitments in a Time of Change
