Organizations join the ABMS Portfolio Program because it enables them to award continuing certification credit to physicians, medical specialists, and PAs for their QI work. What they discover is how much it contributes to their organizations’ quality and safety culture, goals, and physician well-being.

You can become part of a nationwide community of quality-centric organizations. Program Sponsors learn from one another about program implementation, management, and impact through a variety of opportunities including:

  • Regular program calls
  • Quarterly newsletter
  • Periodic program updates
  • Involvement in the annual ABMS Conference, which includes sessions targeted to this community
