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 :

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

MOC Fully Implemented

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.
