What does being board certified mean? How is it related to participating in MOC?

Through board certification by an ABMS Member Board, physicians show they meet the standards of practice set by the profession and have the specialized knowledge and clinical judgment to provide safe, quality, patient care. Physicians participating in Maintenance of Certification (MOC) demonstrate their continued commitment to engage in the assessment and learning activities required by their certifying board(s) to improve the effectiveness, safety, and efficiency of their practices. Board certification and MOC are two quality indicators we encourage everyone to verify.
