M AY 1 6 , 2 0 0 8 10 FR IDAY Review courses expedite preparation for recertiﬁcation Physicians facing recertiﬁcation this year can fulﬁll one American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) requirement during a Saturday afternoon session. The ABIM Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology Recertiﬁcation Course will guide physicians through one ABIM module (B3-E). The session takes place from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. Saturday in Room 301 of the Moscone Center. “What we’ve been able to do is partner with the ABIM to be their educational limb for CCEP,” said N.A. Mark Estes, MD, FHRS, Incoming Heart Rhythm Society President. “In a two-hour session, we’ll work our way through the entire module. It’s estimated that it could take physicians 4-10 hours to complete on their own.” Physicians who choose to complete modules on their own, face hours of work looking up information, reading recent literature, and conferring with colleagues to complete modules. The recertiﬁcation session is led by N.A. Mark Estes, MD, FHRS and David E. Haines, MD, FHRS, who co-direct the Society’s Board Review Course, and can quickly get to the heart of what practitioners need to know for recertiﬁcation. Expert faculty will discuss each topic, and attendees will use the Audience Response System to participate and answer the questions. After the session, attendees can turn in the answers from the session to the ABIM to receive credit for the module. This module will award participants 10 points towards the Maintenance of Certiﬁcation Program (MOC). “We’ve found that the interest level is very high for this, and people who attend say that this is a much better way to meet the requirement,” Dr. Estes said. The Soc iet y w i l l of fer a not her recertification review course for a new module this fall which was released by the ABIM in April. This Board Review Course takes place Sept. 24-27 in Chicago. The Board Review Course contains comprehensive content focused on preparation for ABIM certification and recertification examinations in clinical cardiac electrophysiology.
