Maintenance of Certification (MOC) Points:
The 2024 Annual Assembly of Hospice and Palliative Care is planned in the context of one or more of the ABMS/ACGME Competencies and includes an evaluation designed to assess changes in learners’ competence, performance, or the impact on patient outcomes.

To support MOC reflection opportunities, the 2024 Annual Assembly offers end of day accredited education homerooms in both the in-person and virtual space where learners engage with faculty and colleagues to share key learning points and discuss session reflections. Learners are asked to choose sessions reflective of their top learning priorities and to keep track of at least one key learning point from each of the sessions for reflective learning.

AAHPM has registered the 2024 Annual Assembly of Hospice and Palliative Care to offer MOC points to the following certifying Boards:

• American Board of Anesthesiology: This activity contributes an anticipated 86 CME credits* to the CME component of the American Board of Anesthesiology’s redesigned Maintenance of Certification in AnesthesiologyTM (MOCA®) program,  known  as MOCA 2.0®.
• American Board of Internal Medicine: Successful completion of this CME activity, which includes participation in the evaluation component, enables the participant to earn an anticipated 86 MOC medical knowledge points* in the American Board
 of  Internal Medicine’s (ABIM) Maintenance of Certification (MOC) program. Participants will earn MOC points equivalent to the amount of CME credits claimed for the activity.
• American Board of Pediatrics: Successful completion of this CME activity, which includes participation in the evaluation component, enables the learner to earn an anticipated 86 MOC points* in the American Board of Pediatrics' (ABP)
 Maintenance  of Certification (MOC) program.
