New! Parternship with AAFP Now Awards KSA Credit for ALSO® Provider Course

To reduce burden and find innovative ways for Diplomates to earn credit for activities they are already engaged in, ABFM and AAFP have partnered to provide certification credit for an AAFP activity. If you are a physician who completed the AAFP’s Advanced Life Support in Obstetrics (ALSO®) Provider Course this year, you will receive 10 points toward your 50-point stage requirement. This course can also meet your KSA requirement if you have not already done so. This credit will automatically be transferred from AAFP to ABFM periodically. Credit is retroactive to January 1, 2021, and currently certified ABFM Diplomates or physicians re-entering ABFM certification are eligible to receive KSA credit for completion of the ALSO® Provider Course in 2021. This option is currently not available to resident physicians. Course completion information will automatically be transmitted to your MyABFM portfolio.
