    AbstractThe goal of the Maintenance of Competence (MOCOMP) Pilot Project is to develop a comprehensive CME strategy that will motivate specialists to continuously update their clinical practice. In its 1st year the pilot program has taken several significant steps. A credit system has been implemented to facilitate recognition of CME of the highest educational quality and to encourage specialists to compare their CME efforts with those of their colleagues. The self-directed CME curriculum currently followed by the typical MOCOMP Program member has been described. A diary has been implemented for specialists to record CME activities and their potential impact on practice. The MOCOMP Program is the first attempt to motivate self-directed continuing medical education (CME) through the use of a diary and the first attempt to use this instrument to encourage critical appraisal of personal CME habits.
