Osteopathic Continuous Certification

Overview

Through the following components, board-certified physicians maintain Osteopathic Continuous Certification in the primary specialties of Diagnostic Radiology and Radiation Oncology and the subspecialties of Vascular and Interventional Radiology, Neuroradiology and Pediatric Radiology.

All diplomates who have a time-limited certification from the AOBR are required to enroll and comply with OCC. Upon receiving board certification, diplomates will be automatically enrolled in OCC. There is an annual fee of $300 due by Dec. 31 each year that can be paid online.

Update: Beginning on Jan. 1, 2019, the AOBR OCC process will incorporate the following changes to ensure the continued advancement of board certification processes and requirements.

• Component 2 (Lifelong Learning/Continuing Medical Education): Beginning in 2019, diplomates will be required to earn 60 specialty CME credits per three year AOA CME cycle. This will replace the previous requirement of 120 CME credits.
• Component 3 (Cognitive Assessment): As part of a new pilot format for cognitive assessment, diplomates will no longer be required to take the 10-year OCC exam.
