Interventional Cardiology
Procedural Requirement
You must submit an electronic Form Attesting Interventional Cardiology Practice, verifying your performance as primary operator, co-operator or supervisor of 100 interventional procedures during the two-year documentation period, which is consistent with the ACCF/AHA/SCAI 2013 Update of the Clinical Competence Statement on Coronary Artery Interventional Procedures.
If you are unable to meet this requirement, you may complete the Procedural Log which would allow you to attest to 25 consecutive procedures, including outcomes, completed as primary operator as a pathway to completing the MOC procedural attestation requirement.
