From Paul G. Mathew, MD in Practical Neurology:
Between the growing number of states adopting laws to protect physicians from forced MOC compliance, the increasing number of hospitals/institutions accepting NBPAS as an alternative to ABMS recertification for physician credentialing purposes, and the potential ramifications of a decision in favor of the plaintiffs (practicing physicians) in the ongoing class action lawsuit against the ABIM, practicing physicians everywhere may at some point in the near future witness meaningful reform or possibly an end to forced MOC compliance.
Additional leverage against the forced Maintenance of Certification (MOC) compliance imposed by the American Board of Medical Specialties and their member boards can be achieved by contributing to the legal effort underway (click here).
