ABPMR - Lifelong Learning

Lifelong Learning

Evolving With Advances in the Field

How much has changed in PM&R since you finished your residency? For physiatrists, it depends on how long it’s been since graduation.

Part II of the ABPMR Maintenance of Certification Program focuses on helping you bridge the gap between residency knowledge and what you need to know to provide the highest quality care in your practice today. With a combination of Continuing Medical Education (CME) and Self-Assessment (SA) credits, MOC Part II helps keep you on track and learning throughout your career.

Part II: Two Parts

The Lifelong Learning requirement of ABPMR MOC comprises two parts: Category 1 Continuing Medical Education (CME) and Self-Assessments.

Category 1 CME Credits

Complete and post an average of 30 Category 1 CME Credits per year of certification. At least 50% of these credits should be related to the practice of physical medicine and rehabilitation (for PM&R certificates) or to your subspecialty area (for subspecialty certificates).
