Method of learner participation This examination should be used as a study guide for completing a Maintenance of Certification (MOC) Board Examination. In order to fulfill ABPN’s requirement, each physician should complete all 100 questions, study and research the materials, compare their responses to the correct responses, review the explanations ("commentary"), references and peer responses provided and identify areas where more studying may be necessary. In order to receive credit, learners need to receive a passing grade of 70% or higher. The estimated time to complete this process is 10 hours.
