Assessment: ABP’s MOC Requirements.

Town Hall Panelists’ Comments
• “Good questions. Good information.”
• “Virtual Board exams in the future? Quite possibly. Biggest
obstacle is data files for virtual slides.”
• “What are MOC requirements and how it will work?” (see
abpath.org for MOC info)
• “Should I drop my AP/CP certification if I certify in a
subspecialty?” (not in your first 10 years)
• “Can we get old RISE questions to study from?” (Sorry, NO,
but there is consideration for putting together a Q&A.)
