The ABNS, ABR, and ABPN have all embraced MOC as a core part of their ethos and practice. The vast majority of Society of NeuroInterventional Surgery members are certified by one of these three organizations. Depending on the year of primary certification, the parent board, and decisions regarding subspecialization such as the neuroradiology CAQs, many members are likely already participating in MOC programs. While some may argue with the desirability of the four core competencies of MOC generally, MOC nonetheless represents a new challenge for non-time limited certificate holders of the parent organizations. The future likely includes further expansion of MOC programs as hospitals, state licensure boards, and other organizations make participations in MOC a requirement of practice.
