Physicians must maintain certification by meeting educational requirements for the assessment of continuing competencies through a program called Maintenance of Certification (MOC), Continuing Certification Program (CCP) or Osteopathic Continuous Certification (OCC). The purpose of MOC/CCP/OCC is to ensure that physicians adhere to the highest standards in medicine and pursue excellence in all areas of care and practice improvement.
