from The ZDoggMD Show · host Dr. Zubin Damania

Dr. Paul Teirstein returns to discuss an American Board of Medical Specialties report finding that Maintenance of Certification (MOC) testing is a huge burden on already overloaded physicians without providing real benefit for patient care.

Please listen and consider leaving your comments for ABMS via links here: https://nbpas.org/respond-to-vision-commission-onerous-moc-components/ They want to hear EVERYONE'S input (not just doctors) by January 15th! Let's stop feeling powerless and take our profession back, for the sake of our patients and for each other.
