I am a Diplomate of Asian Bodywork Therapy, how am I affected by the discontinuance of the exam?

In 2008 the NCCAOM convened a taskforce that included a number of prominent ABT Diplomates, educators and massage therapists to discuss ideas for growing the ABT profession and the number of ABT Diplomates — none of the strategies suggested ever came to fruition. In addition, the NCCAOM created an ABT Blue Ribbon Advisory Panel and met with them to discuss next steps for the ABT credential. As a result of this meeting, an executive summary was drafted.
