When Doctors Lead, Patients Win
"Our profession is increasingly controlled by people not directly involved in patient care who have lost contact with the realities of day-to-day clinical practice. I started NBPAS to change that."

Thank you so much for being there and representing physicians as you do. The work that you do to raise awareness of the tyranny of the ABMS recertification process and to bring an alternative to hard working physicians who are committed to lifelong learning is greatly appreciated.

I want to thank you for making this available to all physicians! It was an easy process and as a community builder who has a large physician community online, I know so many of us were waiting for this for a long time! Thanks again!
