Beginning in January 2008, ABOG introduced the new Maintenance of Certification also known as MOC. Anyone who became board certified from 1986 onwards is obligated to complete this process if they wish to maintain their license.

This process contains 4 parts:

1)      Proof of good professional standing. This comprises an ABOG generated computer search of all state licenses held by the candidate,  looking for limitations or revocation

2)      The Lifetime Education or Annual Board Recertification (ABC) which requires OB/GYNs to read a list of prescribed articles and answer an ‘open book’ multiple choice question test. A pass grade of 70% is required from a minimum of 120 (out of a maximum of 180) questions. This is taken once every year.

3)      A ‘closed book’ multiple choice question test which includes the salient parts of the articles from Part 2 (above). This test is taken in the 5th or 6th year of a 6 year cycle. This test is a big unknown since it has never before been administered and is the cause of a lot of consternation amongst OBGYNs.  Read more...
