The American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) has developed new draft Standards for Continuing Certification, which will be released for public comment in spring 2021. These new standards call on member boards to develop a quality agenda for their specialties, working closely with their specialty societies and other partners. On December 11, 2020, ABMS hosted a national symposium on this issue, with 21 of 23 boards and more than 112 specialty societies and clinical systems participating.
