MOC Overview

What should I be doing to maintain my certification?

Under the new rolling certification process that was implemented by the ABR in 2013, there will be an annual look-back that will evaluate a diplomate's participation in the three previous calendar years. The first full look-back was March 2, 2016, and reviewed a diplomate’s participation in all four part of MOC.

At the time of each annual look-back, you must have:

• An active, current, valid and unrestricted license relevant to all of your locations of practice.
• Completed 75 CME (at least 25 of which are SA-CME) within the three previous calendar years. (Participate in ASTRO's CME and SA-CME offerings.)
• New in January 2020, participate in the Online Longitudinal Assessment
• Completed one PQI project within the three previous calendar years. (Participate in ASTRO's PQI offerings.)
