American Board of Radiology Examination Committee Volunteers

American Board of Radiology Examination Committee Volunteers

The American Board of Radiology (ABR) is issuing a Call for Applications for volunteers to serve on its Initial Certification and Maintenance of Certification (MOC) examination committees.

The ABR is currently developing a pilot that may potentially replace its MOC Part 3 requirement to pass a traditional proctored examination every 10 years. The new model is a continuous assessment that leverages advances in technology to bring the process to diplomates online. The pilot Part 3 assessment tool, known as ABR Online Longitudinal Assessment (OLA), will incorporate modern and more relevant adult learning concepts to provide psychometrically valid sampling of diplomate knowledge. More information can be found at here .

Additional volunteers are needed to launch this important new program and continue work on the existing exams. Committee members must have practiced in the field for at least one year, be certified by the ABR (or ABMP for medical physics), and meet requirements of the MOC program. They serve a three-year term, renewable once. The total time commitment is approximately 50 to 70 hours per year.
