The National Board of Echocardiography (NBE) has launched the Maintenance of Certification in Echocardiography (MOCE) program in 2024, replacing its traditional 10-year recertification process.
The MOCE program began in July 2024 and represents a shift towards continuous learning and longitudinal assessment for echocardiography specialists.
Under this new system, physicians who pass any initial NBE examination in 2024 will maintain their Diplomate status annually through MOCE, starting the year after passing their examination(s).
The MOCE program involves answering 12 questions per quarter, totaling 48 questions annually, which can be completed at the physician's own pace using a web browser or mobile app.
This approach allows physicians to test their echocardiography knowledge continuously, ensuring they stay updated with the latest developments in the field.
The transition to MOCE aligns with broader trends in medical specialties, emphasizing continuous certification and lifelong learning to maintain the highest standards of patient care.
This change reflects the NBE's mission to improve the quality of cardiovascular patient care by ensuring physicians maintain specialized knowledge and expertise in echocardiography throughout their careers.
For additional information, physicians can access short informational videos provided by the NBE, including a 12-minute overview and a 4-minute live demo of the aimeQED MOCE platform.
As the 2024 MOCE enrollment period has ended, the next opportunity for enrollment will begin on January 22, 2025.
For more detailed guidance, physicians are encouraged to visit the NBE website at www.echoboards.org/MOCE.
