What happened to the MOC Modules?
|
As part of the transition to an ABMS/AOA exam in 2008, the ABHPM Maintenance of Certification (MOC) self-assessment modules have been suspended. ABHPM diplomates will be supported through the full term of their certificate provided they keep a valid medical license current and maintain their underlying primary board certification. There are no other MOC requirements at this time.
The American Academy of Hospice and Palliative Medicine (AAHPM) can provide information about continuing medical education opportunities and we expect the Academy to offer the MOC modules ina revised format later this year. (April 18)
