Why did the ABO change from a recertification process to a Maintenance of Certification process?
In March 2000, the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) issued a statement expressing the commitment of the 24 medical specialty boards to the process of MOC to expand on and replace recertification. The change represents the ABOs commitment to better fulfill its mission to serve the public by improving the quality of ophthalmic practice through a process of certification and maintenance of certification that fosters excellence and encourages continuous learning.
