Educational Plan: The diplomate should develop a specific educational plan which relates his or 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:

• All must be in Category 1
• 70% or more must be in diagnostic radiology or its subspecialties
• 30% may be in clinically-related general areas or relevant general topics such as risk assessment, ethics, processes of continuous quality improvement, methodologies of measurement outcomes, statistics, etc.
• Self-assessment Module ( SAM) CME may count toward the CME requirement, as well as fulfilling the SAM requirement.
• For the purpose of ABR-MOC, time-limited certificate holders are expected to start acquiring CME and SAMs in 2007. In cycles beginning in 2007 and later, there will be no prorating of requirements, as the MOC program will be fully implemented.

1Diplomates should keep documentation and enter CME and SAM participation into their password-protected personal database on www.abronline.org.
2If 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, a maximum of 50 CME and 4 SAMs may be applied toward your MOC requirements yearly.
PQI: Projects may be done as part of a practice group, department, institution, or society as well as by an individual.  If you are participating in a project that is not individual, it is required that you evaluate your own personal data as a part of your PQI participation.
Outliers in terms of participation may be contacted to produce documentation of participation.
Diplomates may change project topic if data analysis shows that time may be better spent in improving another area.
