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?

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 ;+) Robert Modugno MD MBA FACOG Sylva, NC ________________________________________________________________________ AOL now offers free email to everyone.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
