ABORM Exam

Minimum hours of prerequisite continuing education:

All applicants must complete 45 hours of ABORM- Approved Continuing Education Units/Hours related to the field of Reproductive Medicine and Infertility prior to sitting for the ABORM Examination. Although the pre-requisite CEU hours must be completed before the Exam, candidates must submit proof-of-purchase, or completion certificates for all 45 CEU hours with their Exam Application in order for it to be processed. Additionally, all 45 hours of pre-requisite CEU’s must have been taken within the two year period prior to the date of the Exam.

See our list of ABORM-Approved CEU Courses that meet the Pre-Requisite Requirement. Which exam preparatory courses you take depends on your current knowledge of western and Chinese reproductive medicine. Should you have minimal or no experience, we suggest you take a comprehensive western reproductive medicine course, a comprehensive TCM reproductive medicine course, a male infertility course and an IVF class.

Course work includes ABORM Approved educational content in Reproductive Medicine, either western or eastern. The courses may be live, distance learning, or online.

You may use the 16 categories of competency to guide the coursework you want to study.

Naturopathic Doctors or Chiropractors who wish to sit for the ABORM exam must include proof of certification from the NCCAOM and proof of acupuncture licensure from their state, or proof of licensure from California State Board in Acupuncture, or a Canadian License from Alberta, Quebec, or British Columbia. The same two year licensure minimum prior to sitting for the examination must still be met.

Non-Regulated Geographic Locations: Practitioners who are living in non-regulated geographic areas must complete the alternate forms (link below) to demonstrate equivalent standards of our licensure standards. Go to: Additional Form for Non-Regulated Areas
