The Texas Medical Board now recognizes certification by the ABPS. By recognizing the BCEM in Dr. Gardner's and ACEP's own backyard, The Texas Medical Board is sending a very strong and powerful statement that this bickering has to stop once and for all, and that the state of Texas is concentrating on the solution, and not the problem. A lesson that the NY court has not learned. Update. The Texas Medical Board now recognizes certification by the ABPS.

What the NY court chooses to ignore is that a significant portion of the physicians who are "board certified" by ABEM in New York did not do an EM residency since they were "grandfathered" and essentially have the same training and experience as the ER physicians granted board certification by AAPS.

That is why the NY Court made the appropriate decision ! If you want to be an ER doctor do an ER residency ! AAPS created a sham certification for doctors to "pretend" they are ER doctors. Now these doctors are angry that the they cannot pull the wool over the court's eyes. All you have to do is move to a joke state like Florida and you can pretend you are an ER doc. Where there are real academics (NY) it's not going to happen and should not ! AAPS is a sham, I agree ! That is why the NY Court made the appropriate decision !

Have you made AAPS aware of your situation? What state are you practicing in? It has been our experience that unless individuals speak up, make the organization aware of their problems and get involved in addressing these issues, these problems will persist. - DW Bill S.

It's unfortunate that your experiences have led you to feel that way about the AAPS. It is a very political battle that they are fighting, and at this time, may not have the resources to be as effective as they would like to be. This will not always be the case. The certificate that you hold represents the hard work and dedication you have towards the field of Emergency Medicine and it was not earned in vain. The number of BCEM diplomates are growing and a new generation of diplomates will continue to fight with more vigor. With numbers come strength, and given today's healthcare environment, this alternate board will be a force to be reckoned with. AFMD Bill S.

To anyone thinking about using the certification, dont bother. AAPS is a sham organization that couldnt win a lawsuit if there life depended on it. bill carbone is a clown. ive been turned down from every decent hospital ive applied to based on aaps alone. the certificate is a path to financial ruin. its poison. stay in your original specialty.
