The American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS), purveyor of the MOC programs required to maintain board certification, says it is pleased that the FSMB “included it [board certification] among its criteria for this Compact.” And in its statement praising the Compact, the ABMS admits that this “exceeds current state licensing requirements.”
The Interstate Compact puts physicians who do not participate in ABMS & AOABOS products at a competitive disadvantage. A state legislature should not be passing laws that are handouts to such private, unaccountable organizations.
A primary care physician by training, my passion is researching and writing about maintaining patient-directed choice in medical care, supporting independent physicians, promoting free-market healthcare solutions and seeking sustainable fiscal policy in healthcare.
