About CME for MOC
ACCME has collaborated with American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) certifying boards to simplify and align the Maintenance of Certification (MOC), also known as Continuing or Continuous Certification, process to better meet the needs of physicians and educators. These collaborations enable CME providers to add value for their learners by offering educational activities that count for both CME credit and MOC credit.
Accredited CME providers can use ACCME’s Program and Activity Reporting System (PARS) to register educational activities for these programs and report learner completion data that is made available to the certifying boards.
ACCME's CME for MOC Program Guide describes the requirements for all of the boards collaborating with ACCME, followed by sections for board-specific requirements.
