Good morning,
If I were a newly focused Oncologic PT, looking at the “Start to Finish” page-
this would be a great place to mention these requirements- before the
specialization process even begins. At the end of the page below, it states:
Congratulations! You’re Certified!
https://specialization.apta.org/become-a-specialist/from-start-to-finish
I do think these requirements could be more clear; what is the correct avenue
for this feedback to ABPTS?
Kudos to all Cohorts on their certifications!
Best,
Megan

of Clinical Specialization (MOSC) [WARNING! - EXTERNAL]
I will say that I recently became board certified in 2021 and I have already
begun to complete the first three year recert period. MOSC is not the best
service nor do I agree with how we have to recert in terms of requirements but
time does move fast so I am trying to stay as proactive as I can with it.

To the Onc Clinical Specialists in the second cohort,
My 2 cents - You may want to get your portfolio started as it is easier to
input information/activities including patient care hours, leadership and
service when they are fresh in your head. In addition, it is helpful to take a
look at the case reflection requirements.
Other clinical specialists whom have begun to complete their online portfolio
and case reflection requirements, please feel free to chime in. Describing how
you are going about the completing the online maintenance portfolio and case
reflection requirements that must be completed every 3 years May be helpful to
other clinical specialists as this is the first time through this process:)
Cheers,
CP
