My Diplomate status has expired. How do I get it back?
Diplomates who fail to recertify within the allotted three years of eligibility, may, for a period of three years following the loss of their certification, re-enter the examination process as a Candidate by submitting an application and paying the initial exam fee. Both sections of the examination (Practical and Specialty) must be successfully completed for certification to be regained. However, after the three year period has expired, a former Diplomate must start completely over by entering the process as an Applicant.
