ABPM/MOC Exam – November 5, 2008, 10:00 am
The certification examinations are intended to confirm the determination by the Board that the candidate is qualified by training and experience to claim competence in the respective specialty area. Accordingly, the examinations cover both Preventive Medicine core and the more focused content of specialty practice. The core examination emphasizes the approach of the physician to the prevention and control of disease in populations and the promotion of health. Fundamental are biostatistical and epidemiologic skills; an understanding of the organizational and administrative factors related to regulations, multi-disciplinary agencies, and the legal system; and basic comprehensive Preventive Medicine knowledge, including basic Aerospace Medicine, Occupational Medicine, and Public Health and General Preventive Medicine.
