Requirement Details
We ask that you verify annually that you hold an active license to practice medicine or osteopathy in the United States or Canada and that there have been no adverse actions against any of the licenses you hold in the United States or Canada, by December 31st of each year in order to "meet CCP requirements.” Adverse actions against any state license you hold will be reported to the ABD via the Disciplinary Action Notification Service (DANS) of the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS).
Clinically Active
In addition, we ask that you tell us annually whether or not you are clinically active. “Clinically active” is defined as any amount of direct and/or consultative patient care that has been provided in the preceding 12 months. If you check the box on your MyCCP Table that you are not clinically active, you will be asked to contact the ABD. An ABD staff member will discuss the implications and provide information about how you can maintain your Board certification.
