Board certification what a crockby RR, DPM (no login)I can totally see where you are coming from. There are all those DPM's that were grandfathered in, fine it had to start at some point, but why do they not have to recertify to keep their board status. That is just stupid. This whole board certification thing was meant to be a feather in the cap for a person who wanted to go above and beyond personally. What it has become is the equivelent of what a DPM degree should be. PAR for course. The only reason it means anything to me is that some hospitals require you be board certified at a certain point for privileges. Some insurances require it too for participation. Basically just another way we screw our brothers and sisters in the podiatry field. And people wonder why I will not be part of the state or national societies for podiatry. screw them.
