National Board of Physicians and Surgeons Westby Fisher, MD Aaron Goodman - “Papa Heme” Marty Makary MD, MPH Vinay Prasad MD MPH Vincent Rajkumar I retired rather than submit to a 4th recert exam. I devoted an entire chapter in my book to MOC and the farce that it is. I still want to know what a recert exam measures. After 8 yrs I have not received an answer to that question despite posing it to ABIM on multiple occasions!

I submitted my complaint to the justice department I told my story how MOC had adversely affected my life.
Let’s end MOC!
Kinda hard to believe, but thanks to just 2635 donations from US physicians and their supporters, Practicing Physicians of America has reached nearly half a million dollars for its legal campaign. Great grass roots effort, IMO! Every little bit helps! gofund.me/11d66c03

Association of American Physicians & Surgeons Andy Schlafly have been instrumental in fighting this shakedown since the beginning. We must win this for the sake of our patients and profession.
Westby Fisher, MD thank you for spreading the message about PPA...this looks like a good group, and what great work.

Westby Fisher, MD I’m grandfathered and therefore do not have to do MOC in neurology. But your efforts are much appreciated.
As I posted in another thread, MOC is to medical practice competence as a written test on the MLB Rulebook would be to the on-field performance of Major League umpires.
Would you say this summarizes the current state of ABIM affairs?
