ABIM’s latest announcement about next-generation MOC efforts and request for diplomate feedback is a call to action and opportunity to voice your need for MOC change.
AGA and its sister GI societies have repeatedly conveyed this message on your behalf, emphasizing the need for a paradigm shift in the MOC process. AGA, in collaboration with all GI societies, will continue to work with ABIM to find an alternative that is fundamentally consistent with the principles we have espoused over the past few years: MOC needs to be simpler, less intrusive, less expensive and should not include high-stakes assessments of areas where the diplomate may not practice.
We encourage you to get involved in this effort by:
-
- Expressing your views to ABIM through this open call for feedback to aid in our ongoing communications with ABIM leadership.
-
- Applying by Aug. 27 to serve on ABIM’s Gastroenterology Specialty Board, where you’d have the opportunity to make certification and MOC decisions for our discipline. Learn more on the ABIM website or contact Maura Davis, AGA’s senior director of education.
-
- Providing your perspective and ideas to your colleagues in AGA Community. Your feedback fuels AGA as we continue our ongoing advocacy on your behalf.
