Maintenance of Certification Center (MOC)

Welcome to Rady Children’s Maintenance of Certification Center

Rady Children’s Hospital is an American Board of Pediatrics’ Maintenance of Certification (MOC) Portfolio Sponsor. This means that you can submit your QI projects for approval through our Portfolio.

Effective July 1, 2022, MOC Part 4 Applications will NO LONGER REQUIRE a FEE.


How to Submit for Credit

In general, you will receive 25 MOC Part 4 credits for each project submitted, once approved.

There are two types of projects that will be considered for credit:

1) Small Group QI projects involving up to 10 clinicians. Click here for the application checklist, submission form and physician attestation form.

2) Multiple-year QI projects. Click here for the application checklist.

We highly recommend that you review these requirements BEFORE embarking on your project so that you can make sure that all requirements are met for approval. We also recommend that you initiate your project at least ONE year prior to planned submission for your credit.

Remember that you will require a total of at least 50 MOC Part 4 credit points to maintain your certification every five years – which means at least TWO QI projects every five years. Please plan accordingly.

Current deadlines for MOC credits are mid-December. In order to have enough time for review for approval, we ask that you submit your necessary documentation by November 29 of the calendar year in which you are seeking approval. NO EXCEPTIONS.

As always, please check your own ABP portfolio for your own specific requirements.
