CHEST offers support to members in completing MOC

As you may know, American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) rolled out new Maintenance of Certification (MOC) program requirements in January 2014 for all ABIM Board Certified physicians. In addition to publicly reporting your certification status, ABIM has also begun to report whether or not you are meeting MOC requirements.

CHEST wants to help members meet the new MOC requirements with options that are relevant to your practice.

Currently, we offer seven assessment and improvement modules (AIM) that can earn you Medical Knowledge points in ABIM’s MOC program:

CHEST: AIM Pulmonary Module 1

CHEST: AIM Pulmonary Module 2

CHEST: AIM Critical Care Module 1

CHEST: AIM Critical Care Module 2

CHEST: AIM Critical Care Module 3

CHEST: AIM Sleep Module 1

CHEST: AIM Sleep Module 2

Access chestnet.org/Education/Advanced-Clinical-Training/MOC-PIMs for information.

The new MOC requirements are outlined below; however, ABIM recommends you review your requirements and deadlines on your customized MOC Status Report at abim.org. To be reported as meeting MOC requirements, you must:

Be enrolled in the MOC program (your MOC Status Report will tell you if you are already enrolled)

Earn MOC points:

• Earn some MOC points every 2 years, by completing any MOC activity.

• Every 5 years, you must earn 100 MOC points (with a minimum of 20 in Practice Assessment and 20 in Medical Knowledge). Points earned every 2 years will also count toward your 5-year requirement.

Every 5 years, you must also complete the Patient Safety and Patient Voice requirements.

Pass an MOC exam 10 years from when it was last passed.

Remember to visit your MOC Status Report for more details on how the changes impact you.
