ABP Maintenance of Certification (MOC)

Rule: American Board of Pediatrics 5-year cycle tracking across Part 2 (KSA) and Part 4 (QI) points.

How Quantum Solves It: Quantum monitors your ABP MOC credit balance to prevent sudden board eligibility lapses.

How Quantum Solves It: Enables rapid deployment to winter seasonal surge assignments (RSV/Flu outbreaks).
