A guide to the mysteries of maintenance of certification

As part of a general trend among all medical spe­cialty boards, the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology (ABPN) instituted a recertification process for all new general psychiatry certifications on October 1, 1994.¹ In 2000, the individual specialties that constitute the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) subsequently agreed to develop a comprehensive maintenance of certification (MOC) pro­cess to demonstrate ongoing learning and competency beyond what could be captured by a recertification examination alone.

All ABMS member boards now use a 4-part process for recertification. For ABPN, those 4 core components are listed in the Table.^1,2

ABPN component 1 (maintaining an unrestricted medical license) and component 4 (passing the recertification examina­tion) are straightforward; however, requirements for continu­ing medical education (CME), including the specific need to accrue ABPN-approved self-assessment (SA) CME hours, and the Improvement in Medical Practice (performance in prac­tice, or PIP) module, have stoked significant commentary and confusion.

Based on feedback,^3,4 ABPN in 2014:
   • modified the SA and PIP requirements for physicians who certified or recertified between 2005 and 2011
   • changed the specific requirement for the PIP feedback component.

These modifications only added to feelings of uncertainty about the MOC process among many psychiatrists.⁵ 

Given the professional and personal importance attached to maintaining one’s general and subspecialty certifications, the 2 parts of this article—here and in the January 2015 issue—have been constructed to highlight current ABPN MOC require­ments and provide resources for understand­ing, tracking, and completing the SA and PIP portions.

In addition to this review, I urge all phy­sicians who are subject to MOC to read the 20-page revised MOC Program booklet^a (ver­sion 2.1, May 2014).⁵

Who must recertify?
As of October 1, 1994, all physicians who achieve ABPN certifications in general psy­chiatry are issued a 10-year, time-limited certificate that expires on December 31 of the 10th year.³ Note that the 10-year, time-limited certificate in child and adolescent psychiatry began in 1995 and expires 10 years later on December 31.

Certificates in the subspecialties (addic­tion psychiatry, forensic psychiatry, geriat­ric psychiatry, etc.), including those issued before October 1, 1994, are 10-year, time-limited certificates that expire on December 31.³ This expiration date often is overlooked by physicians who are exempt from the MOC process for their general psychiatry, or child and adolescent psychiatry certifi­cation. There is no exemption for any sub­specialty certificate (aside from child and adolescent psychiatry before 1995), regard­less of the date of issue.

Moreover, physicians who hold a cer­tificate in a subspecialty also must maintain certification in their specialty (general psychi­atry) to apply for recertification in their sub­specialization. One exception: Diplomates in child and adolescent psychiatry do not need to maintain current certification in general psychiatry for their subspecialty certification to remain valid or to recertify in child and adolescent psychiatry.

The need to maintain multiple certifica­tions can seem onerous, but note that CME, SA, and PIP activities that have been com­pleted in one area of specialization or sub­specialization accrue and count for multiple certifications for diplomates certified in 2 or more areas.⁵

Get started!
Tracking your progress is critical to keep­ing up with MOC requirements. You can do this with a personal spreadsheet or by using online resources. Although it is not required, ABPN has established a system that allows diplomates to create and main­tain, at no cost, a physician folio on the ABPN server that facilitates documentation of CME hours, including specific SA hours, and PIP module completion.⁶ All diplomates are required to maintain records of SA activi­ties, CME activities, and PIP units; the ABPN will audit approximately 5% of examination applications.⁵

Regardless of what documentation method you choose, you should establish an active profile on the ABPN site (www.abpn. com/folios), confirm your contact infor­mation, and, if you are not active clinically, update your clinical status. ABPN requires that diplomates self-report their clinical sta­tus every 24 months—information that is available to the public. Clinical status also identifies to ABPN those PIP modules that you must complete.

ABPN recognizes 3 categories of clinical status⁵:
1. Clinically active. Provided any amount of direct or consultative care, or both, in the preceding 24 months, includ­ing supervision of residents.  
   a) Engaged in direct or consultative care, or both, sufficient to complete Improvement in Medical Practice (PIP) units.  
   b) Engaged in direct or consultative care, or both, that is insufficient to complete PIP units.

2. Clinically inactive. Did not provide direct or consultative care in the preceding 24 months.

3. Status unknown. No information is available on clinical activity.

Based on these definitions, physicians in Category 1a are required to complete all com­ponents of the MOC program, including PIP units; physicians in Category 1b or Category 2 are required to complete all components of the MOC program except PIP units.

A change in status from Category 1b or 2 to Category 1a (eg, moving from a purely administrative position to one with clinical duties) requires completion of ≥1 PIP unit.

The easy parts
Licenses. Maintaining your unrestricted professional license(s) is mandatory; the language of this requirement is unambigu­ous (Table).⁵ The plural form of license is intentional: Some physicians have medi­cal licenses in multiple states and, in some jurisdictions, licenses are required to super­vise physician assistants and other person­nel or to prescribe controlled substances. Any restriction on a professional license should be discussed with ABPN and resolved to prevent rejection of the exami­nation application.⁵

Examinations. For physicians who are not yet enrolled in the continuous-MOC (C-MOC) process (to be discussed in Part 2 of this article), an application to take the examination in Year 10 can be filed in Year 9 of the cycle—after the CME, SA, and PIP requirements are completed. Once a diplo­mate becomes subject to the C-MOC pro­cess by certifying or recertifying from 2012 onwards, completion of each 3-year module of CME, SA, and PIP will not coincide with the 10-year time frame of the examination.

The application deadline for all MOC examinations typically is the year before the examination; the examination should be taken in the year the certificate expires, although it can be taken earlier if desired.7 The examinations are computer-based and administered at a certified testing cen­ter. For diplomates who have more than 1 ABPN certificate and want to combine multiple examinations into 1 test session, a reduced fee structure applies.

The general psychiatry examination com­prises 220 single-answer, multiple-choice questions that must be completed within 290 minutes, with 10 extra minutes allotted to read on-screen instructions, sign in, and complete a post-examination survey.⁸ The combined examinations comprise 100 ques­tions from each ABPN specialty or subspe­cialty area.⁵

The content of the 2015 general psychiatry examination^b is available on the ABPN Web site.⁷ Note that the recertification examination in general psychiatry does not cover neurol­ogy topics.

^bDownload the outline of the examination at www.abpn.com/ downloads/content_outlines/MOC/2015-MOC-Psych-blueprint-060314-EWM-MR.pdf.

Examinations administered in 2015 and 2016 will use only diagnostic criteria that have not changed from DSM-IV-TR⁹: Neither obsolete diagnoses or subtypes from DSM-IV-TR nor new diagnoses or subtypes in DSM-5 (eg, hoarding disorder) will be tested.⁹ Diagnoses that are exactly or substantially the same will be tested; these include diagnoses:  
   • with a name change only (eg, “phono­logical disorder” in DSM-IV-TR is “speech sound disorder” in DSM-5)  
   • expanded into >1 new diagnosis (eg, hypochondriasis was expanded to 2 new diagnoses: somatic symptom disorder and ill­ness anxiety disorder)  
    • subsumed or combined into a new diag­nosis (eg, substance use and dependence are now combined into substance use disorder in DSM-5).⁹

For these diagnoses, both DSM-IV-TR and DSM-5 diagnoses will be provided on examinations.

Beginning in 2017, all examinations will use DSM-5 classifications and diagnostic criteria.⁹

Part 2 of this article in the January 2015 issue reviews other key aspects of MOC: continu­ing medical education (CME), including self-assessment requirements; performance in practice (PIP); and continuous maintenance of certification (C-MOC).

BOTTOM LINE
Maintenance of certification (MOC) is a manageable process, although it requires you to be familiar with its various elements, including the duration of certification, licensing requirements, and the examination. Start the process by (1) establishing a login on the ABPN Web site and (2) reviewing the MOC program booklet.
