CME Credit
AAST provides a variety of online options that confer AMA PRA Category 1 CreditsTM, many include a self-assessment component. To find out more about the American Board of Surgery Maintenance of Certification (MOC) requirements, visit the ABS Website.
For your convenience, AAST will report CME credits for American College of Surgeons (ACS) members directly to ACS, on a monthly basis. These credits will appear in your individual ACS "MYCME" Portal on your CME transcript. AAST will also provide you a PDF copy of your certificate at the completion of each course. If you are unable to view your certificate online, please check to ensure your pop-ups are not being blocked.
Please note: June of 2022 was the last month that AAST was accredited with the American College of Surgeons. Beginning July of 2022, AAST began working with a new accreditor, CineMed. All CME activities that launched in and before June of 2022 (ACS accredited activities) will be sent monthly to the American College of Surgeons to be applied to your profile. Activities that launched in July of 2022 (CineMed accredited activities) and after will not show up in your ACS profile.
This year, the ABS announced that it will no longer accept self-uploads of CME activities. AAST is aware of this and is taking the correct steps with CineMed to ensure your activities during/after July 2022 will be reported to ABS monthly beginning October 1st. Activities launched June of 2022 with ACS should be transferred to your ABS profile automatically.
For a seamless CME transfer process, please ensure the following fields are completed in your AAST profile:
• American Board of Surgery (ABS) License State (The state where you currently practice)
• License ID (ABS ID number preferred, but NPI number also acceptable)
• Date of Birth
