Facilitate ABIM MOC with Your LMS

One of the many benefits of association membership is continuing medical education opportunities.

Members enjoy easy access to and numerous venues for certified CME. These opportunities are intended to help members meet the American Board of Internal Medicine Maintenance of Certification (ABIM MOC) requirements.

This fundamental membership feature requires a powerful and flexible LMS to provide the anticipated learning opportunities. There are quite a few ways to optimize your LMS and meet the MOC needs of your members. We recommend you start with the following:

Use Your LMS to Provide the MOC Activities Your Members Need

• Credit Reporting. This is one very practical application of the LMS for MOC requirements. When an activity is created in the LMS, it can also create a record in the ACCME’s PARS system. When a physician completes the activity, the LMS sends the completion record to PARS. PARS then sends the completion record to ABIM to approve the points. No manual data entry required.
• E-commerce Optimization. You can sell subscription-based access, single courses, or course bundles. This allows learners to mix and match courses to build the curriculum needed for their specific MOC requirements.
• Live Event Opportunities. Many members appreciate an occasional in-person learning event. With the right LMS you can easily track offline learning. The LMS will track your learners offline activities and integrate that data with their online learning records. This allows members to have expansive opportunities to fulfill ABIM MOC requirements.

There you have it: three ways to optimize your LMS. But, don’t stop there. An optimized LMS will revolutionize your CME offerings. Take the time to learn and integrate your LMS features. Your members will thank you for it.
