The Cardiovascular Imaging Coalition (CVIC), formed through collaboration between NBE and Inteleos, is developing an integrated Maintenance of Certification (MOC) pathway to help clinicians stay current across imaging modalities while maintaining rigor and clinical relevance.
Designed for clinicians holding certifications in more than one cardiovascular imaging area, including Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance (MR), Nuclear, and Echocardiography (Echo). The program is in active development. Current certification and MOC pathways with NBE and Inteleos remain unchanged.
What CVIC is and how it works
CVIC is building an integrated, case‑based MOC pathway for multimodality imagers focused on three practical goals.
- Consolidate and Simplify
One central dashboard with a unified transcript, clear guidance on upcoming activities, and coordinated recognition across boards. - Make Learning Clinically Real
Short, flexible, case‑based activities aligned with real patient care, tailored by each clinician’s modality mix. - Assess Judgement Through Cases
Regular, lower stakes multimodality assessments that focus on clinical reasoning and interpretation rather than rote recall, replacing multiple separate exams with integrated case sets and feedback.
How It’s Expected to Work
- Complete realistic, multimedia imaging cases with immediate feedback.
- Participate in periodic, case‑based assessments instead of standalone, high‑stakes exams.
- Track progress and completion across all participating certifications in one transcript.
Current Status and Governance
The Cardiovascular Imaging Coalition (CVIC) – a collaboration between NBE and Inteleos – is actively developing the integrated multimodality MOC program.
- Existing NBE and Inteleos certification and MOC pathways remain valid and unchanged at this time.
- Eligibility is expected to focus on clinicians holding more than one cardiovascular imaging certification. Final criteria, pricing, and requirements will be announced closer to launch.
- The program is grounded in evidence‑based, case‑driven assessments, with innovation introduced gradually through pilots and clinician feedback.
- CVIC remains committed to maintaining quality, rigor, and current standards of competence across CT, MR, nuclear, and echo.
