What is MOCA Minute?

ABA’s MOCA Minute is designed to help Diplomates assess their medical knowledge and retention through the span of their 10-year MOCA cycle. It was created as a more effective, meaningful and convenient approach to continuous assessment than the high-stakes exam, elevating the importance of ongoing and on-the-go learning. So-named because participating Diplomates are given one minute to answer personalized multiple-choice questions, based on their specialty certificates and practice profile. Diplomates access their MOCA Minute questions from their ABA Go physician’s portal or mobile app. They immediately see the correct answer along with a rationale for the answer, an informative critique, and pertinent references for more information and further learning.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do I still get credit if I answer a question wrong?
