I've got a great idea. If you are reading this and personally know a warrior of the social justice variety, please have them request pass rates based on ethnicity from ABFAS. If we can show that ABFAS exams are racist (sexist might work too, but probably not), then we can weaponize the sub-optimal test performances and the individuals that obtained them against the ABFAS for our own personal gain. At this point none of you should need convincing that this can actually work...

ABFAS is the only medical board or specialty board with a sub-80% first time pass rate. Board certification is an unfortunately necessary joke, not a protector of the public or an indication of additional training and/or skill. The rest of medicine has figured this out...of course Podiatrists/ABFAS Board members are the slowest to catch on.
