Insights on the most consistently difficult topics help ensure CME activities meet anesthesiologists’ needs as busy, practicing physicians.
How We Develop High Priority Topics Reports for Subspecialties
We review board-certified anesthesiologists’ aggregate performance data in continuing certification assessments to identify the top 10 most challenging topics in each subspecialty.
Then, we share these insights with societies and CME providers to guide targeted, evidence-based education.
These subspecialty reports build on insights from our biannual MOCA Minute High Priority Topics Report, which informs CME across the full community of board‑certified anesthesiologists.
NOTE: The ABA does not financially benefit from diplomates’ participation in CME activities
