Doesn't it seem like these are redundant systems. If we are being
tested by more and more measures for current competency than what's the
purpose of the current CME system, other than to give lecturers a
stipend and free room and board at resorts?

Congratulations. ABFM handed me a packet as I walked out of my recert
exam back in '03, telling me that I was now part of the first group
members to experience the revised recertification procedure, which of
course involves considerably more work and expense on my part, but so
far not much benefit. The biggest change was an annual "SelfAssessment
Module" to be completed on the computer. The first attempt to complete
this involved HOURS on the phone with tech support, ironing out bugs,
starting with the fact that they didn't even make it clear to folks
starting the module that only certain operating systems and certain
browsers were supported, which involved a complete upgrade to my system
before I could even BEGIN the module. I suggested several times that
they ought to give the first group a break on price as payement for
beta testing the thing for them. *sigh*
Good luck with it, guys, it's the wave of the future.

Hmmm, I am grandfathered, with 2 voluntary recerts. I wonder if I
should even bother with this stuff anymore ;+)
