The ABIM and ABP require internists and subspecialists who were certified during or after 1990 to continually participate in MOC program activities. In January 2014, ABIM modified its MOC program. Physicians also must earn 100 MOC points every five years to maintain their certifications, and they must earn some points in an MOC activity every two years to meet the new requirements. The ABP had previously implemented similar requirements and timing for pediatric subspecialists.

The guide cannot be submitted for credit.
