REQUIREMENTS TIMELINE 2010
For Diplomates with Certificates Valid from 2010 to 2020

Effective January 1, 2011

Educational Plan:
The diplomate should develop a specific educational plan that 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 percent or more must be in diagnostic radiology or its subspecialties.

SAM (LL/SA SAM):

• Four or more Self-assessment Modules (SAMs) must be noninterpretive skills.
• Six or more SAMs must be in the specialty specific or related areas.
• For each subspecialty certificate held, the diplomate needs to complete six SAMs that are subspecialty specific.
• SAM CME may count toward fulfilling the CME requirement and the SAM requirement.

¹ Diplomates should keep documentation and enter CME and SAM participation into their password-protected database on www.abronline.org.

NOTE:
CME credits and SAMs need not be done in the precise year specified in the table; however, a maximum of 50 CMEs and four SAMs may be applied toward your MOC requirements yearly.

PQI: Projects may be done as part of a practice group, department, institution, or radiology society, or by an individual. If you are participating in a project that is not individual, you must 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.
