Based on this story it appears that Rand Paul, the son of Libertarian presidential candidate Ron Paul, established his own board certifying entity so he could side step the rules of the American Board of Ophthalmology.

I don't have any particular feelings about Rand Paul but my specialty, EM, has had problems with bogus boards sprouting up to allow docs to claim board certified status without meeting the requirements of ABEM. The main thing they want to avoid in our case is the requirement of having done an EM residency.

In that context I'm appalled that someone would establish a "board" made up of himself and several family members and claim that it has certified him.

When you can't argue using facts and logic, go for the opposition's credentials. That's all this is about.
