The Diagnostic Quality Control Exam is entirely online. This allows for more flexibility to review the slides, and allows completion of the exam before, during, and after the meeting. Instructions for accessing the digital DQC exam will be sent via the email address used for registration prior to the Annual Meeting. Access to the Diagnostic Quality Control Exam is $50 for ACMS members and free to fellows-in-training. Only ACMS members who register for the exam and complete it online will receive a certificate. Certificates are mailed approximately 4-6 weeks after the meeting. CME credit is not offered for taking the digital Diagnostic Quality Control Exam.
