Forgive my ignorance, but what the heck is this? Graduated residency 2021 and passed my two boards. Why am I getting emails for this? Is it necessary? Just another money grab by ABPMR?
I’ve actually done my best to only give myself 30 seconds per question…and so far I haven’t failed a test.It’s mandatory if you want to keep your board certification. You do questions every quarter and a QI project I think every 5 years. Yes, it’s pretty dumb. My work pays for it so doesn’t really bother me. The questions are mostly very easy, but they throw in a typical board question every once in a while that no one knows. The QI project is probably something you already did at work and just have to submit it.
No one knows what percentage of questions you have to get right to pass.
The questions last time were getting pretty dumb…
Q: you have a rancho 5 on rehab that is having trouble sleeping, what med should you try.
A: viagra
B: melatonin
C: coffee
D: avoid sleep in brain injury patients
I ended up doing the back pain QI project from AAPM&R. It’s $250 bucks but basically plug and play. And I agree, waste of time.For this QI project nonsense what are people doing? What a waste of time....
I am AOBPMR. No concerns about licensure or employment. I am licensed in 6 states.Does anyone have any experience with AOBPMR? I’ve already certified through ABPMR, but as my own form of personal protest I’d love to learn about other options. Looks like the written test is $500 with oral board being $750. That’s a small fraction compared to ABPMR. Are there any legit concerns about employment or licensure?
What do the costs look like now?Not for me. For 10 years I didn’t have to do any LA or QI. They started that last year.

No I haven’t. I drank the ABPMR cool aid. What are the perks?Have you looked into NBPAS?

Damn that’s pretty amazing.Once you’re board certified you just show that to NBPAS and just have to show you’re doing CME. Check it out for sure.
