摘要

I am a strong advocate of specialty board certification. I was certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery in 1982 and am very proud of that certificate. The idea that physicians should spend several years in residency programs without undergoing some sort of testing is preposterous.On the other hand, some specialty medical boards have extremely rigorous standards, often requiring both written and oral examinations (which must be passed separately). There are also requirements based upon practice experience as well as time restrictions following the completion of residency. Failure rates can be high. For instance, the failure rate for hand subspecialty re-certification for 2005 was 40.9%.1 Furthermore, boards can impose a limit to the number of attempts, thus permanently excluding many physicians from being board-certified, or even board-eligible.In a census taken 3 years ago by the Federation of State Medical Boards (FSMB), “74.5 percent of the nation’s 850,085 physicians were certified by at least one American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) specialty board.”2 There are some very highly qualified physicians who have never achieved specialty medical board certification, including some of my medical school professors. These should never be cast into early retirement solely on the basis of lack of board certification, even if the FSMB and ABMS say otherwise.
