ABIM’s Forthcoming Longitudinal MOC Pathway
ABIM has announced that over the next five years, it will offer 120 questions per year toward the longitudinal MOC pathway, delivered periodically. ABIM question release allows gastroenterology diplomates four minutes to answer a question and, each year, have access to a 30-minute time bank you can draw from if one needs extra time on a question. Diplomates have the option to skip a question, but must decide before opening the question so it will not count against your score. ABIM’s longitudinal MOC pathway performance standard indicates whether a diplomate met the passing score at the end of the five-year cycle. While diplomates receive feedback on how you’re doing along the way, including how you are performing relative to the passing score, a determination is made at the end of the fifth year if the diplomate met the performance standard.
