  1. PMCP Do you know what that stands for? Does the number 2010 mean anything special to you?

  2. Pediatric Diplomates Summer 2005A Newsletter from the ABP • 1930 AAP was founded • 1933 ABP became 5th specialty board in US • 1934 First oral examination, followed soon by written • 1988 Oral examination discontinued • 1989 2 Day written proctored examination with 7 year certificate

  3. Recertification • ABFP introduced the concept of recertification in 1969 • ABP did “voluntary” recertification in 1980 • 1988 mandatory recertification began with: • PRCP = “Program for Renewal of Certification in Pediatrics” • 2003 this changed to PMCP or the “Program for Maintenance of Certification in Pediatrics”

  4. PMCP • In 1999 ABMS (American Board Medical Specialities) developed guidelines for recertification 1999 • ABMS recommended addressing 6 competencies

  5. Competencies • Patient Care • Medical Knowledge • Practice-Based Learning and Improvement • Interpersonal and Communication Skills • Professionalism • Systems-Based Practice Note: ABP…also wants to document competence in Information Technology

  6. The PMCP’s • PMCP-G or Generalist • PMCP-S or Specialist • Subspecialities may participate in both programs • Most subspecialities do not require the physician to maintain BOTH • Most do not require PMCP-G to renew the PMCP-S

  7. Part One: Evidence of Professional Standing • This is the EASY one…I hope • Maintain an unrestricted medical license in at least one jurisdiction in the US, US territories, or Canada • Federation State Medical Boards (FSMB) and ABMS do send final disciplinary action reports to the ABP!

  8. Part Two: Lifelong Learning and Self-Assessment • PMCP-G Knowledge Self-Assessment • 200 multiple choice questions • Same format as testing center recertification questions • Can start and stop at any time • Need to complete by December 31st of year • Only need to do ONCE in 7 Years • NO minimum score • Will give you a % score with standard deviations and comparison to other pediatricians • Score of 75% considered likely to pass recertification

  9. Is there an alternative to Knowledge Self-Assessment? Prep Self-Assessment for PMCP-G NeoReviews for PMCP-S Neonatology (the Knowledge Self-Assessment is FREE)

  10. Part Two: Lifelong Learning and Self-Assessment • Decision Skills Self-Assessment • 50 clinically based scenarios • History, Physical, and Laboratory sections • Multiple choice answers (sometimes 8) • Start and stop anytime in same year • December 31st deadline • Minimum Score IS required (80%) • You can do try to pass it twice in a year • Only need to complete ONCE in seven years

  11. Part Three: The Secure Examination • PMCP-G Jan to June, Sept to Dec • PMCP-S Spring and Fall windows (specialty dependent) • Prometric Testing Centers • 4 hour test • $1250 sticker shock • $205 reapplication fee only • Fee covers the cost of the four parts

  12. Part Four:Evidence of Satisfactory Performance in Practice • Activity One: • Peer Surveys – distribute surveys to peers • Patient Surveys – distribute surveys to patients • NO minimum score • Feedback only to physicians for “self-improvement”

  13. Part Four:Evidence of Satisfactory Performance in Practice • Activity Two: • Web-based Quality Improvement • Currently only approved program is AAP’s eQIPP • www.eqipp.org • Future? Web-based improvement module on patient safety

  14. eQIPP? • Understand benefit of collecting data from your practice • Collect data on a specific disease from your own patient charts • Interpret and analyze the data so you can use it • Identify an opportunity for improvement in the practice

  15. eQIPP uggh? • Only ONCE in seven years • Can do it more often • ABP receives notification when completed • Currently there are only modules on ADHD, Asthma

  16. How much time will this take? • Licensure <1 hour • Knowledge Self-assessment 4-5 hrs • Decision Skills Self-assessment 4-5 hrs • Examination 4-5 hrs • Peer and Patient surveys < 2hrs • Performance in Practice (eg, eQIPP) 10 hrs + • TOTAL TIME….Variable

  17. Back to the 2010 Am I saved for the time being?
