About
Setting standards and leading innovation for the practice of anesthesiology since 1938
ABA diplomates are required to keep at least one active, unrestricted medical license
Every year, maintain an active, unrestricted license to practice medicine in at least one jurisdiction of the United States or Canada.
Note: All U.S. and Canadian medical licenses that you hold must be unrestricted. Please advise us of any restrictions placed on any of your medical licenses within 60 days of their imposition.
If you are maintaining multiple certifications, you may meet MOCA requirements for one certificate but not for another based on your certification dates, leading to the designation “Not Participating in MOC.” This designation does not impact your certification status unless your certificate expires and you have not completed your MOCA requirements. In that case, we cannot grant you a new certificate until you complete your outstanding activities.
What if I don’t meet the requirement for this component?
