Episode 177: The ABIM-MOC Saga Continues

Dr. Aaron Goodman, who started a petition that gathered over 20,000 signatures to end the MOC back in July 2023, found himself suddenly reported as NOT CERTIFIED by the ABIM in the specialty he practices and teaches (hematology). When he called the ABIM, he was told he needed to pay thousands of dollars in back fees for the Internal Medicine Board that he did not want to keep, as he is a specialist in bone marrow transplant and hematology.

The ABIM advised that unless he pays these fees, he will be deemed “not certified,” which threatens his ability to see patients at his own institution. Aaron was shocked and so was I.  Learn what happened, what is next, and what can be done.
