Unraveling Maintenance of Certification

 

Description:

Being certified by a specialty board is vital to most physician’s ability to practice.  Board certification is a requirement in the credentialing process for many hospital systems.  No matter what the medical specialty,  major change has come to the certification process.  Since 1990 most physicians have been subject to  recertification which included continuing medical education and periodic testing components.  January 2014 brought with it a new world.   A four part process is now the standard in all medical and surgical specialties.  Although the testing component remains relatively unchanged,  the education component has a different face and a practice performance part has been added. Completing recertification for many has become a  confusing and frustrating task.  The goal of this course is help physicians navigate recertification.  Knowing what to do and why you are doing it, changes the process from a nuisance into an opportunity for each physician to maintain and improve the care they give to their patients.
