Applying for MOC Credit

Diplomates of the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology (ABPN) have the option to apply 24.00 of the available 33.50 CME credits towards the ABPN requirement for self-assessment (SA) credits. These are not additional CME credits; rather they are credits that an attendee can use to fulfill a portion of the ABPN’s MOC requirements. In order to claim MOC credit, you will need to complete the self-assessment examination. For more information, please refer to the ABPN website. MOC credit is only available for the Update, NOT the Pre-Conference. Attendees who wish to apply for MOC credit should complete the above evaluation first and then complete the self-assessment examination.
