Since 2008, Dr. Michael Simons has served as the R.W. Berliner Professor of Medicine and Cell Biology at the Yale University School of Medicine. In addition to his more than three decades of experience as a clinician and educator, Dr. Michael Simons of Yale is certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) in the area of cardiovascular disease.
Working with the American College of Cardiology, American Society of Clinical Oncology, and the American College of Physicians, ABIM will have a major hand in developing a comprehensive certification track that will eventually allow physicians to maintain their certifications with all these groups through one process instead of having to undergo a recertification procedure for each one. While current maintenance standards will stay in place, ABIM says that work is ongoing, even now, to draft an entirely new maintenance of certification (MOC) process to give cardiologists, oncologists, and internists the ability to demonstrate their ongoing adherence to medical standards and knowledge.
