For how long will I participate in the LEAD program during my ten-year certification cycle?
Diplomates will show continual competence through bite-sized learning assessments. ABFAS designs these assessments to be completed within short periods of time and offers Diplomates the opportunity to learn more about the topic through pointed articles and studies. Diplomates will have the opportunity to see which areas require more attention to develop their skills and which areas they have shown improvement as they progress through the assessments. All Diplomates must complete a minimum of twelve quarters during each five-year period within their ten-year cycles and can track their progress in their LEAD dashboards.
