50.989 Continuing Medical Education for Maintenance of Certification (CME for MOC):
MSSNY is to support:
- the current Continuing Medical Education (CME) accrediting system which provides high quality CME activities, thus ensuring continuous professional development as well as educational and practice improvement tools and resources;
- the position of the Alliance, which opposes the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) plan as stated because it would undermine the existing interdisciplinary approach to education and would also redirect important resources away from existing educational programs;
- the position of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), which opposes the creation of new systems that would impose unnecessary burdens upon ACCME-accredited providers, Recognized Accreditors, intrastate providers and physician learners.
