I noted your organization in an article in Medical Economics on Maintenence of Certification. It was refreshing to hear there were other certification boards available. 

I have a couple of questions regarding the eligibility to take the exam I have worked in the correctional medicine field for the past 10 years after retiring from the military. Your request to review 10 patient charts is not possible, as it takes a oourt order to release the records to anyone except a judge or attorney. Is there any other avenue to meet this requirement that I can explore.
In the military and in correctional clinics I worked in, I was the only physician most of the time. I had little or no contact with other physicians due to the nature and location of the facilities. I would be hard pressed to obtain recommendation letters from four physicians due to this. Again, is there any other alternative to this requirement. I would surmise I am not the only physician with these type of problems. Could your Certification Department give me some advice in this matter. Any help would be appreciated as I would like to sit for the exam in Family Practice, having been Board Certifide at one time.
