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.

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.
