MOC/SAM (SELF ASSESSMENT MODULES)
Many AAPM members now require Maintenance of Certification (MOC) as defined by the American Board of Radiology (ABR). At least 75 continuing education (CE) credits are required every 3 years. CE credits may be met by a combination of Category 1 credits (CAMPEP or ACCME) and self-directed educational projects (SDEPs). At least 25 of the 75 CE credits must be self-assessment CE (SA-CE). Other than ABR prequalified SAM and SDEPs, the ABR will count all AMA Category 1 CME activities in “enduring materials” (including webbased and print) and “journal-based CME” formats toward the MOC self-assessment requirement. SAM are not required, but can be used to meet the (SA-CE) requirements. Information regarding the MOC requirments can be found at What is MOC. To assist attendees who require MOC, AAPM will offer ABR approved SAM sessions.
New SAM Process
New this year, SAM questions will be included as part of the evaluation survey. SAM questions are no longer embedded in SAM presentations, so audience interaction is not needed. In order to receive SAM credit, participants must answer the questions online. There is no pass/fail.
Evaluate in real time! Use your phone, iPad or laptop to access the Online Evaluation System. You may go online at any time, during the session or after the session, as long as you complete the evaluation survey by the July 15 deadline.
- A beacon will be affixed to your badge for attendance verification.
- You must attend the entire SAM session to be eligible to receive SAM credit.
- You must complete the online evaluation survey in order to receive SAM credit. Please note your badge I.D. is required in order to complete the online evaluation survey.
