Mass General Brigham Maintenance of Certification Practice Improvement Projects (MOC Part IV)

Mass General Brigham Continuing Professional Development is the system-wide sponsor for the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) Portfolio Program. Our goal is to help Mass General Brigham-affiliated physicians and physician assistants fulfill ABMS Maintenance of Certification (ABMS MOC®) Improvement in Medical Practice (Part IV) requirements.

As an ABMS Portfolio Program Sponsor, we can help you receive continuing certification credit from an ABMS Member Board for the incredibly important work you have done related to the Covid-19 crisis. The ABMS has simplified the process for MOC performance-in-practice for Covid-19. All you need to do is fill out a brief attestation about your work with the appropriate information.

MOC Part IV Physician/Clinician/Participation Attestation 
In order to receive MOC Part IV credit for the current calendar year, complete this online reflection form. Please be sure to upload the attestation that your supervisor signed to the online form. The deadline to receive 2020 credit is 12/1/2020.

Please complete all required fields in the “Evaluation” (Evaluation form is the same as the reflection form). Please note: If your board has specific criteria claiming MOC credit (e.g. on-line registration, MOC fees, etc.) it is your personal responsibility to know and comply with these requirements.

The Mass General Brigham MOC Portfolio Approval program will report your participation on your Covid-19 project to your board.
