Responses could improve exam quality

The American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) has emailed diplomates a survey regarding the blueprint for the Maintenance of Certification (MOC) pulmonary exam.

This survey relates to the content of the exam, as opposed to a prior survey that asked diplomates for their opinion about new proposals for 2- and 5-year cycles for the exam.

Participating in the survey gives diplomates a voice in determining the content of the MOC exam for pulmonary medicine. If enough individuals participate in the survey and the data support changing the distribution of exam content, it is very likely that ABIM will make improvements to the MOC exam.

The figure below illustrates the information provided by diplomates that ABIM used to help them decide the exam content for the Hospital Medicine exam.

ABIM has heard from practicing physicians and the specialty societies about the need to change MOC and to make the certification exam relevant to current clinical practice. The ABIM Pulmonary Medicine Board strongly encourages everyone to take the time to help direct the future of the MOC exam.

Diplomates can find the survey when they log into their respective homepages on the ABIM website at www.abim.org. The survey does not need to be completed in one sitting, but rather can be done one section at a time. It takes approximately 15 minutes to finish each section.  
A link to the survey is located in the My Reminders tab.

This is a great opportunity for individuals to make their voices heard.
