Dear ABPS, I was really hoping you were going to be a viable alternative to the ABMS, with all their MOC hypocrisy.   But now I read that the BCEM has placed a NURSE in a position of power over physicians. And not just any nurse, but one of the most ANTI-PHYSICIAN nurses on the planet, Mary O. Mundinger.  She has publicly stated many times that she thinks that a NURSE can and should replace physicians in many situations; in particular by advocating for so-called "doctorate" level training for them, so they can run around and call themselves "doctors".  I guess you'll be letting nurses become "board certified" in Emergency Medicine, Family Medicine, Pediatrics, etc, soon, so they can further confuse the public.

I was considering taking the Urgent Care board test, but now I can see that it's pointless.

Please re-consider the appointment of Dr Mary O. Mundinger. If you need a "public member" on the board panels, how about choosing a random person who doesn't have such an anti-physician agenda.

Sincerely,

John White, MD
