Shhh. I think this is supposed to be a secret, but this Wednesday at the super-elite AMA House of Delegates meeting in Chicago, where only the mostly highly connected and AMA devoted doctors get to attend, they actually stood up for us. It is now AMA policy that the AMA opposes mandatory ABMS recertification exams.
Crazy, right? News of this random act of fortitude trickled out to us on Twitter by the small handful of delegates who very helpfully tweet updates for those of us on the outside. But other than those little tweets, no word from the AMA on this incredibly good news. This is HUGE folks! The AMA opposes ABMS recertification exams! It’s time for celebration, and press releases, and emails asking us to rejoin the AMA. And yet, no word from the AMA.
It’s not listed in the Top 10 Stories from the AMA 2016 Meeting. It’s not mentioned in the coverage of the MOC resolutions that passed. By looking at the AMA website and news coverage, the only MOC resolutions that passed were the typical mushy kind. Here’s how the AMA reported their “newsworthy” MOC resolutions. Hold on to your knickers, these are some groundbreaking resolutions.
