The ability to claim CME and MOC for most MKSAP 18 activities will expire on December 31, 2021. We are aware that some users continue to encounter errors while submitting for MOC. We have alerted the ACCME to the ongoing problem and have been reassured that they are continuing to work towards a solution. As the issue seems to be intermittent, please retry your submission at a later date or time. Any CME submitted by the deadline will be accepted and reflected with the appropriate date. Note that ACP will be closed December 23 through January 2nd. If you encounter any issues during our holiday closure, we can assist you when we reopen on January 3rd.

CME and MOC Restrictions
CME credit and MOC points will be provided to you only if you have purchased MKSAP 18 from ACP or from an authorized distributor. Your subscription is not transferrable to other users. Sharing the username and password associated with your subscription will compromise the security of your confidential CME credits and MOC points history, undermine your account billing, and disrupt tracking of your CME credits and MOC points. The ACP disclaims all responsibility and liability for any improper or unauthorized use of an individual's username and password.
If you are an ACP member, a transcript of your participation in MKSAP 18 and all other ACP-sponsored CME activities is available online as a benefit of your ACP membership. The online listing at https://www.acponline.org/cme-moc/cme/view-cme-transcripts compiles all CME credits that you have earned during the past 6 years.
