Taking the Long View: Assessing the Longitudinal Assessment

Description: In this session, the American Board of Pediatrics (ABP) will give an overview of the journey from piloting its longitudinal assessment in 2017, known as "MOCA-Peds," to completion of the first full cycle and summative assessment in 2022. During the five years between the pilot and the launch of the program for general pediatrics and all 15 subspecialties, the MOCA-Peds platform has evolved based on input from subject matter experts, feedback from diplomates, and research conducted by the ABP.

ABP staff will share lessons learned about the nature of the MOCA-Peds assessment such as content, delivery, and messaging, and changes to the program based on those lessons. Using research and statistical analysis of this first full participation and scoring cycle, the ABP will also share answers to the most critical questions regarding its longitudinal assessment:

1) Is the assessment meeting its intended purpose?
2) How are diplomates engaging with and performing on the assessment?
3) Are diplomates indicating satisfaction with the assessment?

The session will conclude with a preview of what’s to come for MOCA-Peds in 2023 and beyond.
