Thanks to the work of more than 10,000 board-certified pediatrician volunteers, the American Board of Pediatrics (ABP) is offering a new way to fulfill the MOC Part 3 (exam) requirement: the Maintenance of Certification Assessment for Pediatrics, or MOCA-Peds. MOCA-Peds is an online, non-proctored assessment platform.
This online platform provides a number of new features to enhance the MOC Part 3 process including:
To see results of the 2017 and 2018 pilots, please visit "MOCA-Peds: Research and Evaluation." There you'll find a summary of the 2017 and 2018 pilots and information on use patterns, feasibility, acceptability, and scoring.
If you continue to pass MOCA-Peds, you will never have to take a proctored exam at a secure testing facility again to maintain your certification.
To find out when you can start MOCA-Peds, log in to your ABP Portfolio.
