The American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) recently released Assessment 2020, A Vision for Certification in Internal Medicine in 2020, developed by a commissioned task force to “develop a vision for the future of assessment for certification (initial and maintenance) in internal medicine and associated subspecialties.”
Assessment 2020 highlights three key recommendations that aim to reduce the burden of recertification, deliver more relevant assessments focused on practice-based skills, and recognize the value of specialization.
The Assessment 2020 recommendations include the following:
1. Replace the 10-Year Maintenance of Certification examination with more frequent, less burdensome assessments
2. Focus assessments on cognitive and technical skills
3. Recognize specialization
CHEST supports this effort to better align certification and recertification with the relevant practice of physicians and has long promoted the principles behind these recommendations. CHEST is the first medical society to receive accreditation from the Society for Simulation in Healthcare, and The CHEST Certificate of Completion (COC) program provides ongoing opportunity for learning and formative evaluation of knowledge and performance alongside rigorous assessment. CHEST is well-positioned and prepared to collaborate with ABIM and to create the next form of certification.
CHEST recognizes the important work of the Assessment 2020 Task Force in assembling a diverse interdisciplinary group of thought leaders to carry forward the discussion about assessment and certification and acknowledges that there is much work to be done to build consensus and increase the relevance and value of MOC.
We are interested in your feedback on this report and each of these recommendations. Please provide us with your comments at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/FWHCCS5.
CHEST will incorporate your feedback into our future work with ABIM and will continue to inform you of any important changes to certification and recertification.
