Life-long learning and the American Board of Allergy and Immunology

Commitment to life-long learning is one of the hallmarks of a medical career. For diplomates of the American Board of Allergy and Immunology (ABAI), involvement in practice improvement activities is required for continued participation in Maintenance of Certification (MOC) (Fig 1). These activities, which are classified as Part IV MOC, are intended “to help the physician investigate and evaluate their patient care practices, appraise and assimilate scientific evidence and improve their practice of medicine.”1 In the past, these practice assessment activities have focused on improvement in clinical practice—with specific modules focused o n asthma, atopic dermatitis, immunizations, and pediatric medical home or clinical care quality improvement projects.
