The ABIM Has Lost Their Marbles

From the institution that secretly funded itself with ABIM diplomate fees to the tune of over $78 million that culminated in the purchase of a $2.3 luxury condominium for itself complete with a Mercedes S class town car, and offshored funds to the Cayman Islands,  comes this news release:

The 2018 ABIM Foundation Forum will consider the importance of trust in health care – and how to build and maintain it – against a backdrop of political and social turmoil and all-time lows in Americans’ trust in institutions across society.

Make no mistake: this is our physician Board re-certification money they are playing with.

At the very least, the optics of such a conference are horrible given the ABIM Foundation's past.

I hope everyone will make good use of the hashtag #abimf2018 on Twitter and then contribute to our legal fund to permanently end this shameless gaslighting of US physicians and our patients.
