  • Each year Diplomates are required to complete 26 AMA PRA Category 1 credits™ which may come from a combination of:

    A. Self-Assessment Modules (SAM):

    This is completed by selecting 9 approved articles that are most clinically relevant to their practice. The list of articles and links to them can be found on the Educational Activities Tab.

    A score of 75% or higher must be attained on the self-assessment quiz for each article: the quiz may be repeated if necessary. One (1) CME is granted for each successfully passed SAM. These credits will count towards the overall requirement of 26 AMA PRA Category 1 credits™.

    In addition to the 9 SAMs, each Diplomate is required to complete at least 17 AMA PRA Category 1 credits™ in Addiction Medicine every year. These may be earned by completing any combination of additional SAMs, ABAM Recommended CMEs, or Self-Reported CME activities.

    • A score of 75% or higher must be attained on the self-assessment quiz for each article: the quiz may be repeated if necessary. One (1) CME is granted for each successfully passed SAM. These credits will count towards the overall requirement of 26 AMA PRA Category 1 credits™
