MOCA cost

It was sarcasm. My point was you don't need to be doing MOCA to have moved past Pentothal and Gallamine.

But…how will you know if you have had a micro aggression perpetrated against you? How will you know about gender pay discrepancy? How will you know that African Americans receive inferior obstetric care? That is 20% of MOCA questions right there.

Because all of this happens and people need not have their heads in the sand when it does

We have all sorts of colleagues who have gaps in knowledge of things both old and new. That’s literally the purpose of MOCA. I still see people reaching for vasopressin vials during codes.

People will do what they want and YMMV on the importance of board certification but it’s really not hard to do 1 question q3days for a couple hundred bucks

Now the QI portion of MOCA I’ll be on the hill fighting on your side. That’s a burden that can be pricey

Yeah I prefer the moca to more frequent exams. For the motivated anesthesiologists I feel as though the moca questions will help increase their knowledge base and they’ll incorporate into their practice. These group of anesthesiologists are most likely reading on their own time and following current literature.

For the small group of anesthesiologists I feel like nothing will help them. Even despite emerging evidence they’ll never change their practice and not do any reading. They’ll always resort to what works for them. We know who they are.

The qi is not as bad now since it’s self reported. I participated in m and m and did some outside reading and that was enough for 15 and 10 credits.

What do you mean outside reading

Case evaluation, M&M, case discussion or practice improvement CME
Case evaluation – assess your practice and implement changes designed to improve patient outcomes
Morbidity & Mortality (M&M) – peer review of adverse (or potentially adverse) patient outcomes to learn and prevent the incidence of future errors or complications
Case discussion – peer review discussion of a unique case or issue
Practice improvement CME – evidence-based performance measures and QI interventions are used to identify areas of improvement in patient care
Points per hour: 1
Max points in 5 years: 15


Point-of-care learning – Self-directed knowledge acquired during patient care (i.e.., researching cases and outcomes)
Points per hour: 1
Max points in 5 years: 15

I looked at UpToDate and looked at some articles. It’s self attested so I’ll type something up if they audit me. I’m not paying money for simulation courses

This does not validate MOCA. All the judges were from Chicago where the ABMS is. Got an email from Wes who worked tirelessly on this and raised almost 500K from docs.
