MOC Update: ABIM to Recognize QI Activities in Training Programs For MOC Credit

Program directors will now receive Maintenance of Certification (MOC) credits in the practice assessment category for quality improvement (QI) activities inherent to their roles, according to a recent announcement from the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM). This change is the direct result of comments provided by the ACC and other specialty societies requesting that such activities that contribute to patient care be approved for ongoing MOC credit. The approved proposal also includes a provision that grants program directors the authority to attest to faculty participation in program-related QI activities in order to receive MOC practice assessment credit. Read more on ACC.org. The ACC will continue to advocate for improvements to ABIM’s MOC process to ensure it provides the most value and relevance for those members choosing to participate in the process. Stay tuned to ACC.org/MOC for continued updates, as well as access to all of the College’s MOC activities, which are free to members.
