    ABIM Struggles to Keep MOC Relevant and Meaningful

    by Penci June 3, 2018

    Both MedPageToday and Medical Economics covered the latest American College of Physician (ACP) meeting and know how to drive traffic to their site – just mention Maintenance of Certification, Richard Baron, MD, and their pals at the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM).

    Their pieces suggest the ABIM is trying to keep their corrupt “Maintenance of Certification” program, born from a collaboration between the ABIM and ACP years ago, “meaningful and relevant.”

    And in a way, they are.

    Nothing brings doctors together more than the topic of the mandated Maintenance of Certification® (MOC®) program and great quotes like:

    “Grandfathering is a really vexing challenge,” said Baron. “It’s pretty difficult to defend … I would not see those doctors as equivalent to doctors who rectify.”

    I’d like to thank the editors of both journals.

    You are the bomb.
