- Accepted model for Maintenance of Certification in Internal Medicine
- Develops an identity and recognition for Pediatric Hospitalists due to specific test questions for MOC
- Requires Process Improvement Module every three years to assist clinicians in providing high quality care

Cons:
- ABIM model is still in pilot phase and this may not be available for other fields
- Not a popular option in Adult Hospital Medicine field
- No formal training in research
- No formal training in administration/leadership; difficult to find mentors
- No formal training in QI/PI
