Diplomate records must be consistent with the dates and activities listed on the CM worksheet. If participation cannot be verified, the Diplomate should not list the item on the worksheet.
Acceptable records include but are not limited to:
- Documents published by the Committee Sponsor or Society, showing the Committee roster for each year of claimed service
- Pertinent documents or correspondence which identify you as a committee member, e.g., meeting agendas or minutes
- If the Diplomate served on a committee but their name was not well documented, additional information will be needed, e.g., a letter from the committee chair.
Diplomates should retain records until after a recertification decision has been made.
