Educational Plan : The diplomate should develop a specific educational plan which relates his/her practice profile, local needs assessment, and self-assessment to a personal agenda for the acquisition of CME, self-assessment modules, and practice quality improvement activities during the MOC cycle.

CME (LL/SA CME) :

• All must be in Category 1
• 70% or more must be in diagnostic radiology or its subspecialties

SAM (LL/SA SAM) :

• 4 or more SAMs must be General Content
• 6 or more SAMs must be in the specialty-specific or related areas
• For each subspecialty certificate that a diplomate holds, they need to complete 6 SAMs that are subspecialty-specific

¹If your Diagnostic Radiology Certification is time-limited, your MOC governing cycle dates are based on that certificate. If your Diagnostic Radiology Certification is valid for your lifetime, your MOC governing cycle dates are based on the earliest time-limited subspecialty certification that you received or the year that you enrolled in MOC.

Note: CME credits and SAMs need not be done in the precise year specified in the table; however, diplomates are advised that they should be spread as evenly as possible over the years of the MOC cycle, and not all earned in relatively short intervals, e.g., at the beginning of the cycle, at the end of the cycle, or just prior to exam registration.
