Unbelievable that they are even still considering this. We are exhausted and putting everyone at risk for a test is just wrong.

My hospital wont even let us travel for conferences right now so why would they approve this for boards. Makes no sense to force this during a surge.

Thanks for your comment, and for signing Rowan. Per our letter, a virtual exam may not be appropriate either. After learning about what happened with the attempted Gen Surg virtual exams, I changed my view. Their virtual exams were hacked, identities stolen, it was a disaster. So we are asking in our letter that our application, payment, thesis, case list (and MOCs) serve as our portfolio to be granted subspecialty board certification.

The COVID-19 pandemic has uprooted much of how we live. Moving to virtual platforms has helped keep us safe. The Board should change its rule to allow for a virtual exam.

There should be no travel requirement. We need to set an example.

Having an in- person exam during a pandemic is unsafe and ridiculous
