Sarah Rinker, our Data Operations Analyst, last night presented compelling data about the benefits of our CME for MOC Data Collaboration for American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) Certifying Boards. For example the American Board of Surgery, since it joined the ACCME collaboration in 2021 and transitioned away from diplomate self-reporting in 2023, saw a 10x increase in diplomates receiving credit and a 29x increase in credits reported. If you are at in Chicago today, visit us at the ACCME/CME Passport booth right in front of the registration desk to learn how you can reduce the reporting burden on your diplomates and improve your audit process! to data.
