Performance in Practice Component of Maintenance of Certification (MOC)

The Performance in Practice (PIP) component of Maintenance of Certification (MOC) is a two-part quality improvement program designed for "clinically active" physicians to evaluate whether they have shown practice improvement over the 10-year MOC cycle.

Diplomates will be required to complete three PIP Units, each consisting of both a Clinical Module and a Feedback Module. The American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) has issued definitions of "Clinically Active" and "Clinically Inactive" and requires that all diplomates self-report their status once every 24 months in each area of certification.

The ABPN encourages all diplomates to take the Clinical Activity Status Survey. For more information, visit the ABPN website.
