Update on the American board of internal medicine maintenance of certification program: A report of the American college of cardiology's educational quality review board

摘要

The American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) is instituting significant changes in the Maintenance of Certification (MOC) requirements that will become effective January 2014 and will apply to all certified physicians. In response, the American College of Cardiology (ACC) formed the Educational Quality Review Board (EQRB) in 2012 with the following charge: 1) communicate to ACC members both the existing and new requirements for MOC of their primary specialty boards: the ABIM, the American Board of Pediatrics, and the American Osteopathic Association; and 2) develop and oversee lifelong learning and quality improvement initiatives for ACC members that satisfy these MOC requirements.
