Diplomates are expected to remain current in the CC Program by satisfactorily completing all CC requirements and meeting all CC deadlines.
- Reporting form requirements must be reported to ABPath every two years via PATHway.
- All ABPath CertLink© questions must be attempted during each quarter.
Diplomates who do not meet CC Program requirements by the given deadline will be publicly reported as "Not Participating" in the CC Program. Diplomates who are not participating will be expected to meet certain requirements the year following the participation status change. This year is referred to as a "one-year grace period." Diplomates who are not participating in CC and do not meet their grace year requirements will have their certification(s) in the CC Program publicly reported as expired.
A diplomate may appeal to ABPath according to the standard appeals procedure at any point in the CC process if they believe that the CC standards have been unfairly or inappropriately applied.
