• Scored and Recorded Online Examinations
  Credits earned by completing the Scored and Recorded Self-Assessment Examinations can be applied to the scored and recorded self-assessment requirements as mandated by the ABOS Maintenance of Certification (MOC™) process and will count toward the CME credit requirement, as well.

  Note: You must score above chance in order to receive CME credit for completing the examination. This is approximately a total score of 21 for the 2010, 2011, and 2012 Special Interest examinations and 41 for the 2011 Orthopaedic Self-Assessment Examination (Scored and Recorded).



• Self-Scored Online Examinations
  The Self-Scored Self-Assessment Examinations can help fulfill the CME requirements mandated by the ABOS Maintenance of Certification (MOC™) process, but cannot be applied to the MOC self-assessment requirement because these activities are not scored and recorded by the AAOS.


• Independent Study Online Examinations
  The AAOS no longer awards CME credit for independent study as a result of new requirements from the American Medical Association’s Physician Recognition Award Program.
