At the onset  of the COVID-19 pandemic, we all faced lots of questions and uncertainty. As your credentialing body, we want to make sure we are doing everything we can to keep you informed during this difficult time. ABC staff is working remotely to ensure that we can stay fully operational and ready to serve you. We also have a dedicated COVID-19 Information page on our website that we will continue to update regularly. We hope that many of you have had the opportunity to visit this page, but for those who haven’t, here’s a recap of some of the information that’s available.

We will continue to monitor the pandemic and keep you informed. The safety and well being of our employees, certified individuals and candidates, accredited businesses and other constituents is very important to us. We know this is a time of anxiety for you, your coworkers, families and patients. We hope that our efforts serve as a source of valuable information and help you navigate this ever-changing environment.
