The ABIM Foundation has removed board certication from all physicians who haven't paid for 'MOC' including those within their initial certification window (early career docs).

Care to explain this to your fellow EPs Andrea Russo ?

Heart Rhythm Society American College of Cardiology it is time to move as…

Have you no shame ABIM Foundation ? This is extortion and has nothing to do with patient care. Preying on young doctors to enrich your coffers.

It was a rude awakening to find my certification abruptly revoked a mere five years after taking my exam for wanting of paying exorbitant fees and clerical issues related to MOC points. It What are the goals of such a program ABIM Foundation?

Check this out! ⬇️
Talk about moving the goalposts! 😡
American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) decided they wanted more money.💲Lots more money.💰
So they changed the rules again & again to squeeze docs as much as possible. Including prematurely *revoking* 10 year certification. & tattle telling to hospitals!
