Maintenance of Certification Program for Quality Improvement

As an ABMS MOC Part IV Portfolio Program Sponsor, Emory University School of Medicine MOCQI works with participating ABMS Member Boards to grant MOC Part IV credit to Emory physicians who actively participate and successfully complete approved quality improvement efforts. MOCQI provides a process for formal review of QI projects to ensure they comply with ABMS standards, reports approved QI projects to ABMS specialty boards, and upon completion of projects, reports individual physician participation to specialty boards for awarding MOC Part IV credit.

If you need Part IV (Improvement in Medical Practice) credit by December 31 of the current year, the deadline to submit a completed project application to us is November 1 to allow for review and approval by Emory and by your specialty board.

First Step

If you are interested in submitting a project application for MOC Part IV Credit, please send an email to Dr. Nathan Spell (nspell@emory.edu) providing details of your project.  Dr. Nathan Spell will review and we will then provide you with next steps.  We will need the following specifics below addressed in your email.
