• Explain the differential diagnosis of complex clinical presentations of patients with renal disorders
• Identify/integrate current therapeutic options for specific renal disorders
• Review and interpret up-to-date literature relevant to clinical practice
• Describe pathophysiological mechanisms as they apply to management of renal disease
• Apply learning objectives to the ABIM Nephrology certification/recertification examinations

ABIM Medical Knowledge MOC Points

Successful completion of this CME activity enables the participant to earn 46.75 MOC points in the American Board of Internal Medicine’s (ABIM) Maintenance of Certification (MOC) program. Participants will earn MOC points equivalent to the amount of CME credits claimed for the activity. It is the CME activity provider’s responsibility to submit participant completion information to ACCME for the purpose of granting ABIM MOC points.

On the course evaluation page please indicate “Yes” when asked if you would like to receive ABIM MOC points for your participation in this enduring activity. You will then be required to provide your ABIM ID # and your Date of Birth. Points earned will equal the amount of AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ claimed.

HMS will upload the participant data, including the points earned, directly to the ABIM so that it will appear on the ABIM diplomates transcript. These points will not appear on your certificate provided at the end of this enduring activity.
