Nowhere else in the world are physicians treated like crap forced to participate in MOC. Only in the US! Are we dumping grounds for bad products and services that don't sell elsewhere?<br /><br />Isn't it interesting that longitudinal testing theory originated among the Anglo-Dutch entrepreneurs, but MOC would not be tolerated by London-Based PwC, Pearson, and Dutch Media Giantshttps://www.pwc.com/gx/en/industries/healthcare.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18943510.post-864626734765958412019-12-04T12:42:26.513-06:002019-12-04T12:42:26.513-06:00ABIM's Trust Meter is Busted - more "indu...ABIM's Trust Meter is Busted - more "industry insiders" at the ABMS than you can count<br /><br />Why does Dr. Baron suppress the alarming unattractive fact that his "Chief Medical Officer", Richard G.

I have great respect for physician assistants, nurse practitioners and nurses, many of whom are well trained and experienced, and can treat lower acuity problems better than or at least as well as physicians. Such individuals play vital roles, working in tandem with physicians on higher acuity patients.<br />Elliott Robbinsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18943510.post-13833174998648840322019-12-01T12:39:54.166-06:002019-12-01T12:39:54.166-06:00Wes,
