If a physician has gone through medical school and completed his residency (in a specific field), he already has an "understanding of the physicians' knowledge base."

Do you really think a test is going to make him better or smarter???

Think about that. Think hard.


Dear Mrs Robinson - it's really quite simple - your diatribe showed your complete lack of knowledge of the certification process. It's not the oversimplified written exam process you describe.

As to how I know, I ran hospitals for more than 40 years and know the process extremely well. I'd also note that I have several physician friends who are executives in a couple of the boards.

If you need more elaboration, that just underscores how little understanding you have of the boards. My elaboration won't help any.

You might also want to research physician fellowships.
