Maintenance of Certification

How it works

Most board certifications follow the traditional path of full re-certification every 10 years, requiring you to submit prerequisites, pay for and re-take the exam in full. Because of wide-spread dissatisfaction with this model, the IBLM, with the support of the national certification bodies (ABLM, ACLM, ASLM, BSLM, PCLM etc.) has created an alternate Maintenance of Certification (MOC) pathway to maintaining your Lifestyle Medicine certification via Continuing Professional Development (CPD/CME) instead.
