In 2024, the ACA began handling the membership of the CCA and
they have been sending out invoices.

  1. Your membership renewal date will be established by the day you begin paying for CCA membership.
  2. Payments may be made in installments.
  3. You can choose to have your membership renewed by providing the ACA with your credit card.

It also means that we must abide by the rule regarding CCA membership. That will require all CCA members also maintain
membership with the ACA.

Many entities and states require that professional diplomats be recognized by an organization such as the ACA.

Remember that if you plan on maintaining your status as a diplomat, the ABCA requires you to attend a symposium every two years.

If you have let your DABCA lapse, there are relatively painless
options to reinstate your diplomat. If you have any questions about
your status with your diplomat, please email your ABCA board at
crendentialing@abca-acatoday.org

Doctors that sit for the DABCA exam are welcome to attend all of the events associated with the symposium as our guest.
