The American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) has responded to physicians’ and other stakeholders’ input regarding the Maintenance of Certification (MOC) 10-year assessment and will begin offering an alternate option in January 2018. The new option will include shorter assessments taken more frequently that will be able to be completed from a physician’s office or home. These shorter assessments will identify knowledge gaps, so physicians can tailor their continuing education in order to stay current in knowledge and practice. Successful performance on the shorter assessments will allow physicians to opt out of the longer 10-year exam. The program will be piloted for Internal Medicine and select subspecialties and, based on feedback, will be extended to additional subspecialties at a later date.
Physicians whose certifications expire prior to the new assessment option becoming available will need to pass the current exam in order to maintain certification but then will not need to take another assessment for 10 years.
