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!

Together, these organizations form the backbone of a monopoly that stifles competition, burns out physicians, and accelerates physician loss.

The FTC wants to hear from you about how this monopoly has harmed healthcare. Comment here: healthycompetition.gov

: The FTC voted 3-2 to ban non-compete agreements that prevent tens of millions of employees from working for competitors or starting a competing business after they leave a job. trib.al/zrvzIeH

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

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.
