Chicago, IL, September 10, 2024: The American Board of Preventive Medicine (ABPM) announced today it will launch a new annual fee structure for its diplomates beginning on January 1, 2025.
The annual fee will increase to $200 for each ABPM certificate. However, ABPM will apply a $50 discount to fees paid on or before March 31, 2025, and a $25 discount to those paid between April 1 and June 30, 2025. Diplomates will be charged the full price of $200* for 2025 annual fees paid on or after July 1, 2025.
“The ABPM is working hard to incorporate the suggestions made by our diplomates to produce a quality and meaningful Continuing Certification Program, which includes the Longitudinal Assessment Program. While there is a modest increase in the annual fee, we are happy to provide discounts as an incentive to diplomates who pay the annual fee early with the intention of ensuring this program remains sustainable for many years in the future,” said ABPM Chair, Heather O’Hara, MD, MSPH, FACOEM, FACPM. “We truly hope our diplomates find the updated structure convenient and are able to take advantage of the early-bird discount.”
Diplomates can check their compliance with current Continuing Certification requirements and pay outstanding fees by logging into the ABPM’s online Physician Portal. Diplomates may direct questions to ABPM staff at [email protected].
The ABPM is an ABMS Member Board. Founded in 1948, ABPM works with the ABMS in the development of standards for the ongoing assessment and certification of over 12,000 physicians certified by the ABPM in the specialties of Aerospace Medicine, Occupational and Environmental Medicine, and Public Health and General Preventive Medicine; and in the subspecialties of Addiction Medicine; Clinical Informatics; Health Care Administration, Leadership, and Management; Medical Toxicology; and Undersea and Hyperbaric Medicine.
*2025 annual fees paid after December 31, 2025, will be subject to the then-applicable late fees; Over time, unpaid annual fees may result in suspension or revocation of a diplomate’s ABPM certification.
