Change Board Recertification Mission

Change Board Recertification is supported by physicians across the country with one clear-cut mission statement: To address Board Recertification by reforming its procedures and practices.

Physicians are united: Physicians need to be allotted as much time, energy and resources to address their number one concern -- Patient Care. We all agree that keeping up to date is essential to practicing medicine, but does the Board Recertification process effectively qualify physicians and protect patients? In other words are the Recertification requirements an accurate or predictive indicator of a physician's skills, ability to serve patients or overall competency? Is the Maintenance of Certification program even fair?

Change Board Recertification is committed to exploring the essential issues regarding this process of evaluation. This website is a home for discussion concerning the Recertification process and its effectiveness.

Many physicians and leaders in organized medicine have questioned the validity of the process -- citing issues of age discrimination, necessity and complexity of the Recertification requirements, length of time needed to complete the process and overall costs to the individual physician.

Change Board Recertification is a national movement of physicians committed to reforming the Board Recertification process so we are better able to serve the needs of our patients.
