RESPONSES/COMMENTS (NON-CLINICAL) - PART 1
RE: Less Strict Criteria for ABFAS Board Certification
From: John Moglia, DPM
I believe the ABFAS criteria for certification is too restrictive. I was certified over 20 years ago with less restrictive criteria and would not qualify today. There should be a compromise in criteria with no compromise in quality. Why not follow our American Board of Orthopedic Surgery (ABOS) colleagues’ path to certification with no specific case requirement? Our leaders must resolve this issue for the survival of the profession as certification is now mandatory for hospital and insurance participation.
