Title: The Medical Quality Cartel
Topic: Medical Quality Cartel
Discussed by Dr. Jane Orient
with Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (www.aapsonline.org)

Part 1 of 2

Lawyers aren’t required to take the bar exam every few years to keep defending or prosecuting cases. But apparently the government now believes it is necessary for doctors and surgeons to be certified or re-certified frequently in order to continue practicing medicine.

While established (aka, older) physicians are “grandfathered” and not placed under this stipulation, newer physicians, those currently in medical school, and future doctors and surgeons will be required to spend countless hours and a small fortune every few years becoming recertified in their field of specialty.

Jane Orient, with the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, explains why this is not only bad for them but bad for you – the patient!

When it comes to specialty doctors, many are not currently “board-certified”. Does this make a difference to you? It doesn’t necessarily mean he or she is not well qualified; in fact, it’s probably the exact opposite!

But who actually provides the certification? You might be surprised who does – and who pays for it!

Listen in as Jane Orient gives us the scoop!
