The Executive Committee of the Bureau of Osteopathic Specialists (BOS) approved a proposal allowing a grace period through May 31, 2019, for the 2016-18 CME cycle.

AOA board-certified diplomates will have the option to fulfill 2016-18 CME requirements by either:

• Submitting CME credits earned between Jan. 1, 2016 and Dec, 31, 2018 that have not yet been reported for that cycle.
• Applying CME credits earned in the current CME cycle (2019-2021) toward the previous AOA CME requirement. To elect this option, complete an Authorization Release Form and return it to the AOA Department of Client and Member Services.

Any credit applied to the previous CME cycle cannot be applied to the current CME cycle.
