Rheumatology Board Recertification Exam Preparation Course

  |  Issue: January 2007  |  

This is the only review course specifically designed to meet the needs of rheumatologists preparing for the ABIM Rheumatology Recertification Exam, so if you need to recertify before 2010 you should not miss this course.

Like the recertification exam, the course will be case based and will focus on disease-management problems and key advances in practice over the past 10 years. Experts who understand patient care and the exam content will review 120 exam-style cases and provide disease specific overviews to ensure that each participant will pass the ABIM Rheumatology Recertification Exam.

100% guarantee: If you complete the ACR Rheumatology Board Recertification Exam Preparation Course and do not pass the exam, you may attend the 2008 Rheumatology Board Recertification Exam Preparation Course or enroll in the CARE 2006 program for no charge—simply provide the ACR with a copy of your ABIM test results notification letter.

This course will review two case-based ABIM Self-Evaluation Process Modules: Rheumatology, General, 10-A (version 05-1) and Rheumatology Recent Advances, 30-R (version 06-1). Attendees will be eligible to receive AMA PRA Category 1 Credits and 40 points in the self-evaluation of medical knowledge category of the ABIM’s MOC program.

    ACR Recertification Resources

    With the time constraints, stress, and lack of resources rheumatologists and other healthcare professionals face everyday, it can be challenging to find educational programs that not only provide measurable effects on the quality of patient care, but also offer resources to equip you for the ever-changing world of healthcare.

    Help Navigating ABIM Maintenance of Certification? Let the ACR Guide You!

    To remain board certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM), rheumatologists who were certified in 1990 or later need to recertify every 10 years by enrolling in and completing ABIM’s Maintenance of Certification (MOC) program. The ABIM MOC program is designed to promote lifelong learning and the enhancement of clinical judgment and skills essential for high-quality patient care. To complete the ABIM MOC program, physicians need to be licensed and in good standing, pass a secure examination, and earn 100 self-assessment points: 20 points in self-evaluation of medical knowledge, 20 points in self-evaluation of practice performance, with the remaining 60 points in either medical knowledge, practice performance, or a combination of both.

    Maintenance of Certification Is Not Just for the Young

    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.
