For those of you who have to take boards postponed to Sept. vs May - how do you feel about that?
I personally feel that we should be grandfathered in given the circumstance - there is a lot of pressure given not just the corona virus, the change in date for the first time ever in existence, job loss possibilities given that some places won't hire you/keep you if not board certified, not to mention the change of the board exam in and out of itself.

Thoughts? Am I wrong for thinking this way? I was mentally prepared to take it in May, Sept is a disaster for me.
 
This really messed with my plans too. Also, now I will need to postpone my pain boards as it is on the same weekend. I don't think this will affect jobs in any way as we are still board eligible. I think everyone will be pretty understanding as this is completely out of our control. Personally I just wanted to have it done, no I have to think about it for another 6 months.

Yep. And I don't think they should ALSO change the format of the exam at the same time - too many changes.
