Maintenance of Certification

The 2023 ACVS Surgery Summit is an ACVS Diplomate maintenance of certification (MOC) activity. To have ACVS record this activity on your MOC record, ACVS Diplomates must complete the post-presentation questions in the Surgery Summit mobile app for each lecture they attend. Questions must be completed by October 24, 2023. ACVS will upload the 2023 ACVS Surgery Summit activity to MOC records on October 25, 2023.

ACVS Diplomates who attend the 2023 ACVS Surgery Summit but do not complete the post-presentation questions by October 24 in the Surgery Summit mobile app may still claim their activity points by adding the meeting to their MOC records themselves. Instructions for obtaining your 2023 Surgery Summit CE certificate will be provided in the program guide and mobile app.

ACVS Diplomates are responsible for recording attendance at ACVS Surgery Summits prior to 2020.
