In the latest installment of the ABIM Maintenance of Certification (MOC) saga on Healthcare Unfiltered, the fiery aftermath of Aaron Goodman's groundbreaking petition to dismantle the ABIM MOC takes center stage. Joined by recurring guests, the outspoken Drs. Wes Fisher, Vincent Rajkumar, and Aaron Goodman himself, Chadi dives deep into the shifts within the medical landscape over the past six months. The conversation unfolds with a critical analysis of medical societies' responsiveness to the petition, exploring whether genuine change is underway or if inertia prevails. Together, they passionately discuss the crucial role of hospital and institution-wide rejection in catalyzing a domino effect for change. The episode doesn't shy away from the legal battlefield either, delving into the multiple class-action anti-trust cases against ABIM MOC. Tensions rise throughout the conversation, but it concludes with a collective focus on the next steps to propel this movement forward.

A lot has been stated about the Maintenance of Certification (MOC) implemented by the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM,) and many physicians, regardless of specialty, have been opposed to the MOC as it adds cost, burden, and takes away from patient care. This led Dr. Aaron Goodman from UCSD to start a petition to end the MOC, which gathered unwavering support with over 10,000 signatures in 2 weeks. In response, Dr. Richard Baron, the president and CEO of ABIM, has agreed to come on the show to address the concerns raised by physicians and to answer questions that have flooded all social media channels since the petition started. What is the history of certification, recertification, and MOC? What is the “Grandfather” rule? What about data? COI? Cost? Burnout? Does the MOC really lead to better patient care? Why not stick to state-regulated CME courses? These issues are top-of-mind for a large number of physicians who are certified by the ABIM. You will not want to miss this heated, yet respectful and civil, discussion. In the podcast, there is a mention of COIs. The ABIM has provided links to their COI. https://www.abim.org/about/boards-and-committees/board-policies/financial-conflict-of-interest/ and https://www.abim.org/about/boards-and-committees/board-policies/academic-conflict-of-interest/ Dr. Baron's specific COI are also listed. https://www.abim.org/about/leadership/#baron The ABIM Board of Directors page lists all of their COIs as well. https://www.abim.org/about/boards-and-committees/governance/board-of-directors/ Here is the page for all the Specialty Boards. https://www.abim.org/about/boards-and-committees/ View the petition. https://www.change.org/p/eliminate-abims-moc-requirement Check out Chadi's website for all Healthcare Unfiltered episodes and other content. www.chadinabhan.com/ Watch all Healthcare Unfiltered episodes on Youtube. www.youtube.com/channel/UCjiJPTpIJdIiukcq0UaMFsA

Episode 020: State of MOC Update with Dr. Meg Edison Maintenance of Certification (MOC) continues to weigh down physicians encouraging early retirement, burnout, and financial strains leading to all sorts of other personal and professional problems. The private specialty boards (ABIM, ABA, ABP, etc) are under the auspices of the ABMS which sets many of the rules that are ruining physicians' lives. The most important of these is the emergence of time-limited certifications forcing physicians into a never ending wheel of testing and expensive time consuming busywork. My guest, Dr. Meg Edison, is a pediatrician who has had enough. She has a personal story of harm brought to her patients by the MOC process and has been fighting back. Physicians everywhere are starting to push back against these private unaccountable boards that are lobbying to put physicians out of work who refuse to comply with their asinine training components. What was once just a legislative battle in many states in the country, physicians have started new tactics to fight back against the oppressive boards - through the courts. With a case against the osteopathic board settled for over $2 million the noose is (hopefully) closing in on these corrupt accreditation practices. Now, Dr. Wes Fisher (from Episode 009) has just completed funding for a class action lawsuit which has the makings of busting the whole syndicate wide open. Dr. Meg Edison is a general pediatrician and at the forefront of the battle against MOC. She is pictured here on the left. show notes State of MOC: This is the go-to website to see what the legislative progress is for every state in the US. The site ranks the three aspects of medical practice freedom: freedom from MOC for licensure, hospital privileges, and insurance payment. The site also has model legislation that can be given to your state legislators. Speed Bump Kitchen: Dr. Edison's cooking recipes (I've tried some and they're fantastic) super handy for kids with multiple food allergies. Now they can eat great without sacrificing taste.

In this edition of the “Peer to Peer” audiocast series, Dr. Vincent DeLeo speaks with Dr. Thomas D. Horn about the importance of the Maintenance of Certification (MOC) process in improving the quality of care delivered in dermatology practices. Dr. Horn notes that MOC represents the best structure for physician self-regulation, which is crucial to ensuring the integrity of practice parameters within the specialty while avoiding third-party oversight. He also provides an in-depth explanation of how the MOC practice improvement and self-assessment modules are stuctured. Finally, Dr. Horn outlines some key changes in the MOC process that are pertinent to physicians.
