MOC Part IV

 

University of Cincinnati American Board of Specialties Portfolio Program: 
Supporting Your Continuing Maintenance of Certification Needs		 
 

This site is designed to assist you in developing, submitting, and managing a quality/safety improvement activity through the ABMS Portfolio Program sponsored by the University of Cincinnati Center for Continuous Professional Development (UC CCPD).

ABMS Portfolio Program Overview
In 2016, the American Board of Medical Specialties Portfolio Program™ granted the UC CCPD portfolio sponsorship status, allowing us to review and approve quality and safety activities for maintenance of certification (MOC) credit from an American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) Member Board or the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants (NCCPA).

As a designated ABMS Portfolio Program Sponsor, the UC CCPD takes care of the essential administrative tasks related to credit confirmation.

  • Submitting activities to the ABMS Portfolio Program for approval.
  • Reviewing and approving individual or group attestations of activity participation.
  • Sending confirmation of activity completion to the ABMS Portfolio Program for transmission to the particular ABMS Member Board(s) or the NCCPA to receive credit approval.

How to Get Involved
Participation in the ABMS Portfolio Program recognizes activities designed to improve your practices and the care of your patients. You may select from curated, approved activities that our organization is implementing or develop your own activities and submit them to our office for approval. Submitting an activity through UC’s ABMS Portfolio Program is free. Activities can be large in scale to address systemic and clinical issues or smaller activities to improve a specific area of practice.
