Popis: Continuing medical education is an ongoing process to educate clinicians and provide patients with up-to-date, evidence-based care. Since its inception, the maintenance of certification (MOC) program has changed dramatically. This article reviews the development of MOC and its integration with the 6 core competencies, including the practice-based learning and improvement cycle. The concept of lifelong learning is discussed, with specific focus on different methods for surgeons to engage in learning, including simulation, coaching, and communities of practice. In addition, the future of MOC in continuous professional development is reviewed.
