CM Categories

• Documents showing company logo or letterhead, name and title
• Correspondence from the employer (past or current) attesting to work history dates and job responsibilities

• Committee roster for each year of claimed service
• Documents identifying committee members, e.g., agendas or minutes
• Acknowledgment letter from the committee Chair or Sponsor

• Copies of links to the published materials

Any IH, safety, or ethics training event, internal or external to your organization, as long as it is targeted to the professional level (not technician or technologist level). IH and safety events must be at least one hour in duration. Ethics events can be of any duration.

Generally:

• When you attend a class or course, you only need one acceptable proof-of-completion record (see below) such as a certificate, roster, transcript, or other acknowledgment of your participation.
• When you attend a conference, you typically will need two records: 1) a registration receipt and 2) a record such as an expense report which proves that you were physically in the city on the days of the claimed CM credit.

An acceptable proof-of-completion record will indicate the Diplomate’s name, date of completion, event title, event Sponsor/Provider, and the duration (e.g. hours or CEUs).  If any of this information is missing or if the subject matter is not clear from the title, then additional records will be needed, e.g., event description, agenda, or schedule.

If the Sponsor or Provider does generate a record, it can be one of the following:

• Certificate, letter/email, transcript, roster, or other record showing completion
• Registration receipt if purchased on-site, at a single-day event
• Event badge if only issued on-site, at a single-day event

If the event Sponsor or Provider does not generate a participation record and the Sponsor, Provider or Content Owner does not have any additional restrictions for use, participation, or viewing, then the Diplomate may use one of the following:

• Registration record and evidence of physical presence in the city on the day(s) of the event, e.g. approved expense report, purchase receipts
• Attendance Roster
• ABIH Attendance Verification Form
• CIH vouching (allowed once per CM cycle)

NOTE - If you are claiming the same class more than once during a CM cycle (e.g. annual ethics training), you will also need to retain something which shows that the content changed by more than 50% each time it was taught.

• Agenda or schedule showing name, topics, date, and time
• Sponsor acknowledgment indicating presentation length and topic

• Participation records or certificates
• Sponsor acknowledgments
• Exam completion letters or Public Rosters (from other examining bodies)
• Mentoring - Pre-approval letter from ABIH unless the organization has been pre-approved. See the ABIH web site.
