Maintenance Of Certification

Context.—The American Board of Pathology (ABP) began issuing time-limited certificates in 2006. New diplomates of the ABP are required to participate in the ABP's Maintenance of Certification (MOC) program to maintain certification. Voluntary participation in the MOC program is also available to diplomates with non–time-limited certificates. Objective.—To update the pathology community on the requirements of the ABP's MOC program and some current MOC policies and to demonstrate the value of MOC participation for both time-limited and non–time-limited certificate holders. Data Sources.—This review uses ABP-archived minutes of the MOC Committee, the ABP MOC Booklet of Information, the ABP Pathway system reports, and the collective experiences of the ABP trustees and staff. Conclusions.—The ABP's MOC program has active participation by almost 5000 diplomates of the ABP. The ABP, in conjunction with the American Board of Medical Specialties, continually strives to enhance the relevance and value of MOC to our diplomates and to the public.

Context.— Certification by the American Board of Pathology (ABPath) is a valued credential that serves patients, families, and the public and improves patient care. The ABPath establishes professional and educational standards and assesses the knowledge of candidates for initial certification in pathology. Diplomates certified in 2006 and thereafter are required to participate in Continuing Certification (CC; formerly Maintenance of Certification) in order to maintain certification. Objective.— To inform and update the pathology community on the history of board certification, the requirements for CC, ABPath CertLink, changes to the CC program, and ABPath compliance with recommendations from the American Board of Medical Specialties Vision Commission; to demonstrate the value of CC participation for diplomates with non–time-limited certification. Data Sources.— This review uses ABPath archived minutes of the CC Committee and the Board of Trustees, the ABPath CC Booklet of Information, the collective knowledge of the ABPath staff and trustees, and the American Board of Medical Specialties 2018–2019 Board Certification Report. Conclusions.— The ABPath continues to update the CC program to make it more relevant and meaningful and less burdensome for diplomates. Adding ABPath CertLink to the program has been a significant enhancement for the assessment of medical knowledge and has been well received by diplomates.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: In 2016, the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) approved pediatric hospital medicine (PHM) as the newest pediatric subspecialty. To characterize development of the field, this article aims to: (1) describe the responsibilities and practice settings of US pediatricians self-identifying as hospitalists; and (2) determine how exclusive PHM practice, compared with PHM practice in combination with general or subspecialty care, was associated with professional development interests. METHODS: Pediatricians enrolling in the 2017-2018 American Board of Pediatrics (ABP) Maintenance of Certification program were offered a voluntary survey about their responsibilities, interests, and practice settings. Logistic regression was employed to characterize associations between exclusive PHM practice and: (1) interest in quality improvement (QI) leadership; (2) intention to take the PHM certifying exam; (3) satisfaction with allocation of professional time; and (4) intention to maintain more than one ABP certification. RESULTS: The survey response rate was 70.0%; 1662 (13.1%) self-reported PHM practice. Four hundred ninety-one (29.5%) practiced PHM exclusively, 518 (31.1%) practiced PHM and general pediatrics, and 653 (39.3%) practiced PHM and one or more subspecialties. Respondents reporting exclusive PHM practice were significantly more likely to report interest in QI leadership or consultation (adjusted odds ratio [OR], 1.39; 95% CI, 1.09-1.79), PHM exam certification (adjusted OR, 7.10; 95% CI, 5.45-9.25), and maintenance of more than one ABP certification (adjusted OR, 2.64; 95% CI, 1.89-3.68). CONCLUSIONS: Hospitalists reported diverse clinical and nonclinical responsibilities. Those practicing PHM exclusively expressed high levels of interest in board certification and QI leadership. Ongoing monitoring of PHM responsibilities and practice settings will be important to support the professional development of the PHM workforce.

Abstrak Pariwisata kreatif merupakan bentuk pariwisata alternatif yang prospektif untuk dikembangkan di Desa Sedari. Penelitian yang ada menunjukkan bahwa daya tarik utama kawasan hutan mangrove selama ini semata pemandangan yang cenderung tidak melibatkan partisipasi dan pengalaman wisatawan dalam kegiatan pariwisata. Hal ini mengindikasikan potensi yang ada belum sepenuhnya termanfaatkan optimal. Terlebih kegiatan pariwisata ditunda dan dihentikan sementara dengan adanya Pemberlakuan Pembatasan Kegiatan Masyarakat (PPKM) untuk mencegah meluasnya penyebaran pandemi COVID-19. Tujuan penelitian ini mengeksplorasi potensi pariwisata kreatif kawasan hutan mangrove di Desa Sedari, Kecamatan Cibuaya, Kabupaten Karawang, Provinsi Jawa Barat, Indonesia. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif dengan pendekatan eksploratif. Data primer dan sekunder diperoleh melalui wawancara serta studi pustaka. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa (1) Hutan mangrove Desa Sedari memiliki potensi untuk pengembangan pariwisata kreatif; (2) Pengembangan ke arah pariwisata kreatif baru dimulai pada tahun 2021 namun belum terlaksana optimal dimana belum ada pengelolaan, pengelola maupun program yang terencana baik. (3) Bentuk pariwisata kreatif yang dapat dikembangkan di kawasan hutan mangrove, diantaranya birdwatching, pengolahan produk berbasis mangrove, maupun kegiatan wisata yang melibatkan partisipasi aktif wisatawan, juga kerjasama wisatawan dengan masyarakat lokal dan pengelola kawasan hutan mangrove. Penelitian ini merekomendasikan dilakukannya renovasi dan revitalisasi sejumlah infrastruktur fisik kawasan hutan mangrove untuk pengembangan kegiatan pariwisata kreatif, peningkatan kompetensi dan kualifikasi sumber daya manusia pariwisata serta penguatan kemitraan kerja diantara para pemangku kepentingan terkait. Kata Kunci: pariwisata kreatif, partisipasi aktif, hutan mangrove, desa sedari, pandemi COVID-19 Explorative Study of the Creative Tourism Potential of the Mangrove Forest Area Sedari Village, Cibuaya District, Karawang Regency, West Java Abstract Creative tourism is an alternative tourism that is prospective to be developed in Sedari Village.

The purpose of this study was to explore the creative tourism potential of mangrove forest area in Sedari Village, Cibuaya District, Karawang Regency, West Java Province, Indonesia. This study utilised descriptive research method with exploratory approach. Primary and secondary data were obtained through interviews and literature study. This study found that (1) The mangrove forest of Sedari Village has the potential for the development of creative tourism; (2) Development towards creative tourism has not yet optimally implemented. It was just started in 2021 that there are no well-planned programs, managers nor management. At present; (3) Types of creative tourism can be developed in Sedari mangrove forest areas, including birdwatching, processing mangrove based tourism products; tourism activities involving tourist active participation, as well as tourist cooperation with local communities and mangrove forest area managers. This study recommends for the renovation and revitalization of a number of physical infrastructures for the development of creative tourism activities; the enhancement of tourism human resources qualifications and competencies; as well as strengthening the working partnership amongst relevant stakeholders. Keywords: creative tourism, active participation, mangrove forest, sedari village, pandemic COVID-19
