This article describes the evolution of board certification for pediatricians and the current ongoing assessment process called Maintenance of Certification (MOC). To be called a board-certified pediatrician under the MOC framework requires a level of training, competence, and knowledge that can only be achieved by completing a rigorous, defined, closely monitored training program approved by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education and then demonstrating a level of knowledge comparable to established standards by passing the initial certifying examination. Once this landmark baseline threshold is reached, the emphasis shifts to demonstrating lifelong professional development and the ability to deliver quality care and to continually improving that care through MOC.
本文介绍了儿科医生委员会认证的发展历程以及当前正在进行的称为“认证维持”（MOC）的评估过程。在MOC框架下，要成为一名获得委员会认证的儿科医生，需要一定程度的培训、能力和知识，而这只有通过完成由毕业后医学教育认证委员会批准的严格、明确且密切监督的培训计划，然后通过初始认证考试来证明具备与既定标准相当的知识水平才能实现。一旦达到这一具有里程碑意义的基线门槛，重点就转向通过MOC来展示终身专业发展、提供优质医疗服务的能力以及持续改进医疗服务的能力。
