The
American Board of Radiology administers
the Maintenance of Certification (MOC) program in diagnostic radiology.
Below is a synopsis of the four requisites of the MOC program, along
with a listing of the resources offered by ASNR to assist neuroradiologists
in meeting these requirements. For a more detailed explanation of the
requirements, please see ABR's diagnostic
radiology MOC requirements page.
Part
I. Professional Standing
ABR
requires diplomates to maintain active, current, valid and unrestricted
licenses relevant to all locations of practice. As licensure requirements
vary geographically, please refer to your local licensing agency for
specific requirements.

Part
II. Lifelong Learning and Self-Assessment |
ABR
Requirement: Lifelong Learning -- Category 1 CME
ABR
requires diplomates to earn at least 250 hours of Category 1 CME
credit over the 10-year accreditation cycle. A
ASNR
Online Resources for CME:
ASNR
eCME
ASNR provides free online member access to more than 120 lectures
totalling more than 50 hours of Category 1 CME credit. This course
library is refreshed yearly with new presentations from the ASNR
Annual Meeting.
| ABR
Requirement: Self-Assessment |
ABR
requires diplomates to complete 20 Self-Assessment Modules over
the 10-year MOC cycle (a maximum credit of four SAMs can be earned
in any given year).

IV. Practice Quality Improvement |
ABR
Requirement:
The
ABR requires diplomates to participate in a practice quality improvement
(PQI). More details are provided in the ABR's diagnostic
radiology requirements. During the first year of this requirement,
diplomates are required to learn about PQI in preparation for selecting
a PQI project to implement.
ASNR
Online Resources:
View Dr. Sanelli's lecture from the 2009 ASNR Annual Meeting, explaining the PQI process below »
ASNR has developed materials to support a neuroradiology
PQI in the area of standardized nomenclature for MR of lumbar disk disease. Basic information on the PQI process, as well as a smaple project are presented at http://www.asnr.org/pqi.
If you currently participate in a PQI efforts and
would like to share your PQI concepts with ASNR members, please
contact the ASNR at cpc@asnr.org.

CME Gateway
(www.cmegateway.org)
The CME Gateway is a cooperative effort amont eight radiology organizations to create
a single website where radiologists can automatically track their
CME and SAM credits earned. This website is free to use and greatly
reduces the efforts of record-keeping and reporting of credits. Participants
can choose to have CME and SAM credits automatically reported through
the Gateway to the ABR for MOC purposes, eliminating the need to manually
document MOC compliance
Neuroradiology
Curriculum for Current Practice
The ASNR Education Committee has compiled an online curriculum resource to guide you through the topics relevant to today's neuroradiology practice, along with links to recommended resources for keeping your practice knowledge up to date.
