ACC and ABIM partner to make MOC less onerous and more meaningful for cardiologists.
Why the study?
Assessing medical competence requires external evaluation, but maintenance of certification processes have faced criticism, prompting recent collaborative efforts between the ACC and ABIM to improve the process.
Provides a summary of the history and ongoing efforts by organizations such as the ACC and ABIM to define and assure the clinical competence of cardiologists.

May reduce cardiologist certification burden; leaves open whether revisions improve competence or outcomes.
Brush et al. (2020) conducted a review in Cardiovascular training and practices. Maintenance of competence certification was evaluated. Recent collaborative efforts between the ACC and ABIM aim to make the maintenance of competence certification process for cardiologists less onerous and more meaningful.
