If I have a lifetime certificate and am not required to recertify, are there any benefits to participating in the ABIM Maintenance of Certification process?
The ACR wants to promote lifelong learning for all rheumatologists and most who complete a PIM learn something by seeing their practice as a population of patients with a common condition. They realize that their practice performance depends not only on what they know, but also on the systems that support the delivery of care. It is also anticipated that performance reports generated by the PIM will become a tool to meet the quality reporting requirements of patients, purchasers and payors.
