Pilot testing of the MOC resulted in the determination that more user-friendly web-based forms for an online submission would be helpful.  ABPP has, as of April 2016, initiated the formal roll out of the MOC. The ABPP Central Office will announce to eligible specialists that their MOC process is operational; CO is opening MOC participation as each specialty board is ready, anticipating that all Specialty Boards will be engaged in MOC participation by September 2016.   Specialists will be reminded by the Central Office about MOC and the need to opt in or out (if boarded prior to January 2015) and also given a reminder that the MOC is due on the anniversary of their original board certification (e.g., 1987, 1997, 2007 would be due 2017). However, if a specialist decides not to complete MOC on his or her anniversary, the specialist may postpone MOC until the 8thyear of MOC (2023). During this 8th year of MOC, all specialists who did not elect to complete MOC on their anniversary date must complete MOC.
