“Kiddie table” (PERFECT description). Been there done that. Silly enough to think I might make a difference once by revealing fraud of American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) -> we’re still being extorted over annual MOC fees -> All a brainchild of AMA from whom ABMS and American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) sprung.

Today is a very sad day - my dearest friend Roberto M Lang has passed away. He has touched so many lives that it is impossible to count. His impact on the field of echocardiography is simply astounding. He is the ultimate educator and friend. I will miss him deeply. #NaughtyFellow



ACC’s CMP for EP, just done last year, has sprung its ugly head again, courtesy of American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) MOC. Requires reading 45 “chapters” covering all of EP (again), answering 411 questions, and doing an online timed test. Hours and hours. Like we have nothing else to do…



Yowsa. The American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) PR department and JAMA Int Med needs to stop publishing work that displays their poor grasp of study design since retrospective Medicare coding data are (at best) only hypothesis forming and horrible surrogates for outcomes. 👇

Westby Fisher, MD American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) It’s propaganda disguised as “science” to justify the existence of a cartel. Many medical bureaucracies exist to transfer wealth away from regular doctors to a small group of individuals. It’s monopoly behavior that should be outlawed.

Meritocracy! Love this! Time to end the elitist MOC mandates with head-to-head combat! 😂 Aaron Goodman - “Papa Heme” beware, tho: American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) ‘s “correct” answers are often outdated by the time the tests are constructed. 👇



Almost 2 yrs ago, #HealthcareUnfiltered hosted an epic debate on the merits of the ABIM-MOC where Aaron Goodman - “Papa Heme” & then ABIM-CEO joined. Given the recent JAMA Internal Medicine flawed "marketing" study, it's fitting 2 surface this clip. Take a listen & revisit the pod Morie Gertz
