Maintaining Fitter Certification
All ABC Certified Orthotic and Mastectomy Fitters are required to maintain certification by participating in continuing education, adhering to the Code of Professional Responsibility and remitting annual fees.

Mandatory Continuing Education Program
The American Board for Certification in Orthotics, Prosthetics & Pedorthics (ABC) has long recognized the need for effective continuing professional education. Continuing education is meant to maintain and develop the quality of care offered by individuals credentialed by ABC, and is the norm in health care professions. Educational activities are designed to maintain, develop, and increase the knowledge, skills, and professional relationships that Certified Fitters use to provide services for the public, thus inherently promoting professional development.

A Mandatory Continuing Education credit is defined as one credit equals one contact hour. The minimum requirements for each five-year registration cycle are as follows:
