Engagement of family physicians seven years into maintenance of certification

J Am Board Fam Med. 2011 Sep-Oct;24(5):483-4. doi: 10.3122/jabfm.2011.05.110170.

Abstract

Transitioning Family Physicians to continuous Maintenance of Certification (MOC) was intended to support the quality improvement movement nationally, but it also risked decreasing their engagement due to the increased requirements for retaining certification. However, after completing the transition of all family physicians into MOC in 2010, participation appears higher than ever.
