ABR MOC Updates
G. Donald Frey and Geoffrey Ibbott
The American Board of Radiology (ABR) has had a Maintenance of Certification (MOC) program for ten years. During that time the program has evolved. The MOC program consists of four parts.
• Part 1 – Professional Standing
• Part 2 – Lifelong Learning and Self-Assessment
• Part 3- Assessment of Knowledge, Judgment and Skills
• Part 4 –Practice Quality Improvement
All four elements have evolved in recent years. The most recent change is replacing the decennial MOC exam with a process called On-line Longitudinal Assessment (OLA). OLA will replace the exam. This presentation will review the MOC program and will provide information on how each part of the program has evolved.
Professional Networking (And We Don’t Mean Ethernet!)
Matthew Meineke
Networking can benefit individuals not only from a personal and business perspective but also from a professional perspective. Professional networking can be one of the most valuable tools in building your career, presenting you with many growth opportunities. In this seminar, we will present the fundamental aspects of a healthy professional network, as well as concrete methods of growing and maintaining your network. Additionally we will highlight the number of opportunities medical physicists have to network throughout the year.
Learning Objectives:
1. To review and understand the four parts of the ABR MOC program
2. To learn the most recent updates to the MOC program and how they affect current diplomates.
3. To learn how professional networking is a key component to building a successful career.
4. To learn concrete ways in which a medical physicist can build and maintain professional networks.
