Reactivation
People who were previously certified may want to pursue reactivation.
When a former Diplomate is reactivated, ABIH will issue a new certificate, certification letter and will publish the person’s name on the public portion of the ABIH web site.
Reactivated Diplomates will be assigned a new CIH number.
Reactivation Options
If you decertified | And you want to reactivate | You may do so by |
For any reason except an ethics sanction | At any time | Examination* if you:
|

|

|
By Voluntary Surrender or by failing to submit an acceptable worksheet | After CM cycle ends (requires a 6-month waiting period before reactivating) |

* Since the Aspects and CAIH examinations have been discontinued, reactivation by exam is not available. These Diplomates must qualify to take the Comprehensive Practice examination by providing a re-application form, supervisor's PRQ covering the last 2 years, documentation showing at least two hours of Ethics training, and pay the fees (re-application fee and the examination) in effect at the time of the request.
