160.963 MOC Moratorium
The Medical Society of the State of New York will call for an immediate end to the high stakes examination components and the Quality Initiative (QI)/Practice Improvement (PI) components of maintenance of certification. MSSNY will call for retention of CME and Professionalism Components (how physicians carry out their responsibilities safely and ethically) of MOC only.
MSSNY will petition the ABMS for the restoration of certification status for all diplomates who have lost certification status solely because they have not complied with MOC requirements; and it will bring this matter to our AMA for final resolution for the benefit of ALL physicians.
