About Continuing Certification (formerly Maintenance of Certification / MOC)
Through continuing certification, physicians demonstrate a dedication to professional growth and excellence. The ABMS Member Boards’ continuing certification programs provide structure and rigor to those efforts, with activities for continuous professional development centered on patient care, practice enhancement, and lifelong learning. The components of continuing certification evaluate one or more of the core competencies integral to the delivery of high-quality patient care co-developed by ABMS and Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME).
