A lot has been stated about the Maintenance of Certification (MOC) implemented by the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM,) and many physicians, regardless of specialty, have been opposed to the MOC as it adds cost, burden, and takes away from patient care. This led Dr. Aaron Goodman from UCSD to start a petition to end the MOC, which gathered unwavering support with over 10,000 signatures in 2 weeks. In response, Dr. Richard Baron, the president and CEO of ABIM, has agreed to come on the show to address the concerns raised by physicians and to answer questions that have flooded all social media channels since the petition started.

What is the history of certification, recertification, and MOC? What is the “Grandfather” rule? What about data? COI? Cost? Burnout? Does the MOC really lead to better patient care? Why not stick to state-regulated CME courses? These issues are top-of-mind for a large number of physicians who are certified by the ABIM. 

You will not want to miss this heated, yet respectful and civil, discussion.

In the podcast, there is a mention of COIs. The ABIM has provided links to their COI. https://www.abim.org/about/boards-and-committees/board-policies/financial-conflict-of-interest/

ABIM and MOC: The Epic Debate With Richard Baron and Aaron Goodman

Dr. Wes Fisher joins the show to continue highlighting ABIM recertification and the MOC program following a petition that has gathered over 12,000 signatures to end this program. Dr. Fisher is a clinical cardiac electrophysiologist at NorthShore University HealthSystem in Evanston, IL; he is also a clinical Associate Professor at the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine. Dr. Fisher is triple board-certified in Internal Medicine (Grandfathered per the ABIM), cardiology, and cardiac electrophysiology. He is due for his FOURTH re-certification in cardiology after 12/31/2023 and FOURTH re-certification in EP after 12/31/2023.

The process of re-certification and MOC became a core center in Dr. Fisher’s advocacy on behalf of the physicians. He co-founded Practicing Physicians of America to advocate and educate and has done significant investigative work on the ABIM; you can see much of his writing on his blog as well as many other outlets.

Why does a respected EP physician, with over 3 decades of experience and thousands of patients seen, need to do this re-certification again and pay yearly dues? Please listen to this exclusive revealing podcast and share with your colleagues.

This is another ABIM-related MUST LISTEN podcast.

The Case Against the ABIM MOC With Wes Fisher

So much has happened since the petition against the ABIM MOC started on 7/21/2023, which is nearing 20,000 signatures. Physicians have called upon their societies and organizations to offer statements on their behalf, but only The Society for Cardiovascular Angiography & Interventions (SCAI) so far has done so. Drs. Srihari Naidu and Allison Dupont, both members and leaders of SCAI, come on the show to explain why they came up with the statement and what it means to the membership. Is there a path forward and why have other societies stayed silent thus far? Drs. Naidu and Allison Dupont offer refreshing opinions as to what might get done and what is to come after the praise that SCAI received.

In the latest installment of the ABIM Maintenance of Certification (MOC) saga on Healthcare Unfiltered, the fiery aftermath of Aaron Goodman's groundbreaking petition to dismantle the ABIM MOC takes center stage. Joined by recurring guests, the outspoken Drs. Wes Fisher, Vincent Rajkumar, and Aaron Goodman himself, Chadi dives deep into the shifts within the medical landscape over the past six months. The conversation unfolds with a critical analysis of medical societies' responsiveness to the petition, exploring whether genuine change is underway or if inertia prevails. Together, they passionately discuss the crucial role of hospital and institution-wide rejection in catalyzing a domino effect for change. The episode doesn't shy away from the legal battlefield either, delving into the multiple class-action anti-trust cases against ABIM MOC. Tensions rise throughout the conversation, but it concludes with a collective focus on the next steps to propel this movement forward.

The ABIM MOC: A 6-Month Update Since the Petition

Dr. Paul Teirstein, President of NBPAS.org, joins Chadi to highlight and reveal how the National Board of Physicians and Surgeons (NBPAS) is challenging the status quo of board certification for all medical practitioners. With a mission to advocate for physicians and combat the monopoly of Maintenance of Certification, Dr. Teirstein explains how NBPAS provides a refreshing alternative for continuous board certification.

NBPAS: The Alternative to the ABIM MOC

Dr. Aaron Goodman, who started a petition that gathered over 20,000 signatures to end the MOC back in July 2023, found himself suddenly reported as NOT CERTIFIED by the ABIM in the specialty he practices and teaches (hematology). When he called the ABIM, he was told he needed to pay thousands of dollars in back fees for the Internal Medicine Board that he did not want to keep, as he is a specialist in bone marrow transplant and hematology.

The ABIM advised that unless he pays these fees, he will be deemed “not certified,” which threatens his ability to see patients at his own institution.

Aaron was shocked and so was Chadi.
