The Case Against the ABIM MOC With Wes Fisher

Dr. Wes Fisher joins the show to continue highlighting ABIM recertification and the MOC program following a petition that has gathered over 12,000 signatures to end this program. Dr. Fisher is a clinical cardiac electrophysiologist at NorthShore University HealthSystem in Evanston, IL; he is also a clinical Associate Professor at the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine. Dr. Fisher is triple board-certified in Internal Medicine (Grandfathered per the ABIM), cardiology, and cardiac electrophysiology. He is due for his FOURTH re-certification in cardiology after 12/31/2023 and FOURTH re-certification in EP after 12/31/2023. The process of re-certification and MOC became a core center in Dr. Fisher’s advocacy on behalf of the physicians. He co-founded Practicing Physicians of America to advocate and educate and has done significant investigative work on the ABIM; you can see much of his writing on his blog as well as many other outlets. Why does a respected EP physician, with over 3 decades of experience and thousands of patients seen, need to do this re-certification again and pay yearly dues? Please listen to this exclusive revealing podcast and share with your colleagues. This is another ABIM-related MUST LISTEN podcast.
