for PM&R/pain folks - drop PM&R certification?

[ctts]

Just curious to know if any of you who are boarded in both, are thinking to just keep Pain certification and drop PM&R certification?

I am in private practice. I would like to keep both, I suppose in case my job situation ever changes. At this time, I don't really need my PM&R certification. Haven't decided yet...

Dropped mine last year and just kept pain, never plan on having a job again which would require PMR certification

I'm keeping mine...just in case if in the "new world order" they resurrect physiatrists to certify the Legions of Deplorable's as "work worthy" I'll have some street cred...

Would consider getting it back if the ABPMR allowed us to go away from computer based testing for recert.

Any idea on the likelihood of that Steve?

I thought you had to maintain primary PMR certification in order to be board cert in pain
