Get Ready for the Rheumatology Maintenance of Certification Exam

From the College  |  Issue: January 2013  |  January 2, 2013

Get Ready for the Maintenance of Certification Exam

The Rheumatology Maintenance of Certification Course is an interactive learning experience designed to assist physicians in building their knowledge base in the diagnosis, management, and treatment of rheumatic diseases. This course is based on the topics and cases presented in the ACR’s self-assessment activity, Continuing Assessment, Review, and Evaluation (CARE), which is designed specifically for rheumatologists. The intriguing cases detailed in CARE 2012 will be brought to life with audience participation, expert faculty providing context and answer rationales, and opportunities for discussion.

“Osler said it best, ‘It is astonishing with how little reading a doctor can practice medicine, but it is not astonishing how badly he may do it.’ The ACR has worked hard to help make the recertification process as painless as possible while, at the same time, as educational as possible—completing recertification simply makes you a better rheumatologist,” says James R. O’Dell, MD, ACR past president and MOC course lecturer.

    I certainly am relieved to know that I will never need to recertify with the American Board of Internal Medicine Maintenance of Certification, but this feeling is shadowed by a deep sense of shame. I decided to step up and take advantage of all the wonderful recertification programs the ACR has to offer.
