Regarding board certificationby Anonymous DPM (no login)I am a podiatrist who has been in practice 6 years. I held privileges at a hospital, as I was board qualified ABPS. Unfortunately, I had some very serious family issues in addition to starting my practice from scratch and could not obtain the "diversity" in cases to sit for the Oral board ABPS. So now my board qualified status has be revoked. As I only did a PSR 12. I now am supposed to go do another year of residency to be board elgible again. ( yes, leaving my surgical practice to potentially do a Non surgergical residency for one year )to meet standards to be board elgible and thus be able to have hospital privileges, and be able to make a living again. I was thinking about the medical specialties board, but unfortunately, insurance companies and podiatry staff at hospitals (all abps ) do not acknowledge it. My question is this. So graduation pod school, no law suits, did surgical residency, held privileges for 6 years, but now without ABPS board elgibility status I cant make a living.? When did board certification become a bench mark like a diploma is supposed to be. This is total crap. The profession that eats its own. Funny part is I do revisional surgery for board certified pods and orthos, although apparently without abps on my side, I must be incompetent to even work in the profession. Does the APMA have an input on this? Surely I cant be the only one bending over and taking it up the ass. any comments? anyone? is this a have and have not thing? anonymous DPM ( ashamed to put my name next to the DPM ) from IP address 152.163.100.139 Goto Forum Home |
