ABPS Self-Assessment Information for 2025
The American Board of Plastic Surgery, Inc is proud to announce improvements to the Self-Assessment Activity.
New improvements include:
- Updated platform with simplified log in process – Access the assessment with one-click from your ABPS Tracking Page on the Board’s website. No need for an additional log in step or access code.
- New format – complete the 30-question assessment; If one or more items were answered incorrectly during the first attempt, you will relaunch only those items in an effort to achieve 100%.
- Expanded administration window – the assessment will remain open for 6 weeks instead of 4.
This year’s assessment will launch Tuesday, April 1st and close on Friday, May 16th. You will receive an email notification when testing begins. As a reminder, you will choose only one module to complete for the current year. If you’ve missed any assessments from previous years, you will be able to catch up this Spring by completing the Comprehensive module.
For diplomates with expired certification, upon successful results, new certification cycles will be issued for April 1, 2025 through December 31, 2030.
A short tutorial video is available below, and a tutorial exam is available on the testing website to walk you through the new format. We recommend reading through this set of instructions to prepare for the administration window.
You will receive an email notification when the assessment opens, and regular reminders throughout the administration window. As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please contact staff@abplasticsurgery.org
