Recertification exams are, on the face of it, a good idea. But the boards are making it way too expensive and way too complicated. It should be really simple. Confirm that you were previously certified, then go down to your Sylvan center and take the recertification exam on whatever Saturday is convenient for you. Shouldn’t cost more than 300 bucks.
But that would defeat the real purpose–money.
There was a revolt by the family docs, and the recert process was made at least a little less onerous.
I dropped my AAFP membership over their high-handed attitude.
