What happens to a time-limited certificate if all MOC requirements are not satisfied during the 10-year cycle?
The certificate is withdrawn, and the diplomate is no longer listed by the American Board of Medical Specialties as certified. The diplomate may regain specialty certification by completing all aspects of MOC within two years of the certificate’s expiration; beyond that interval, the former diplomate will need to repeat the initial certification process. If reinstated, the time-limited certificate will be valid for 10 years from the date the prior certificate expired.
