For those anesthesiologists who are dually certified by the ABA in anesthesiology and pain medicine: Are there separate MOCA CME requirements to maintain certification in either specialty?

Also, can one use pain medicine CME (as long as it's AMA certified) towards anesthesiology MOCA or must the CME be anesthesiology based only?

i have wondered this also...

my big concern is that they say you have to maintain Anesthesia board certif. in order to remain eligible for pain certification in 10 years, especially when i dont do anesthesia anymore...

anyone have the answer to this
