Need to Fulfill MOC Requirements or Earn Continuing Education Credit? AAAAI Has New Opportunities for You

New! Fulfill MOC Requirements with JACI: In Practice

Beginning with the May/June 2016 issue of The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology: In Practice, readers will be able to satisfy Maintenance of Certification (MOC) requirements. The Difficult Cases series in JACI: In Practice is approved by the American Board of Allergy & Immunology to satisfy the self-assessment requirement of MOC Part II.

Readers will first assess what they already know by taking a baseline test at jaci-inpractice.org/cme/home. After reading the Difficult Cases feature, AAAAI will send follow up instructions to earn MOC credit and participants should watch their email accounts for this information.

Difficult Cases include both printed and online materials and are based on the Difficult Cases Course at the AAAAI Annual Meeting, which is coordinated by the New Allergist/Immunologist Assembly. The print component is a 500-word summary that includes the case report as well as a summary of the major teaching points of the case. The complete discussion, which may include slides presented at the Annual Meeting, is published online and can be accessed from jaci-inpractice.org.

Remember to bookmark the MOC Activities page of the AAAAI Continuing Education Center to access all of the AAAAI’s MOC activities.
