The American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) is a non-profit physician-led umbrella organization for 24 of the 26 approved medical specialty boards in the United States. It is the largest voluntary-based physician specialty certification organization in the United States with over 750,000 US physicians having achieved certification by one or more of its 24 medical specialty boards (officially referred to as the "Member Boards" (see below). These Member Boards certify specialists in about 145 specialties and subspecialties. The ABMS was established in 1933. It works closely with the Member Boards to set educational and professional standards for the evaluation and certification of physician specialists. The Member Boards certify specialists in numerous specialties and subspecialties through a comprehensive process involving educational requirements, professional peer evaluation and examination. ABMS also works in collaboration with other professional medical organizations and agencies to set rigorous standards for graduate medical school education and accreditation of residency and training programs. The ABMS is governed by a Board of Directors that includes a representative of each of the 24 Boards, 3 Public Members, its officers (Chair, Vice Chair, and Treasurer) and its President/CEO. The leadership at each Member Board is made up of certified specialists in the particular field represented by that board. Board members may include teachers in the specialty, those with specialized training or skills in the specialty or subspecialties represented by the board, and from among those who have demonstrated the expertise, motivation and ability to assist in evaluating candidates who wish to become board certified. The ABMS is currently led by Dr. Kevin B. Weiss as its President and Chief Executive Officer, and Dr. Joel DeLisa is the current Chair of the Board of Directors. From Wikipedia under the

I've been to Thailand twice and love it there! I'm planning on getting some major dental work done there next year. It's estimated at US $4000+ here. I'm still researching to find a dentist there and get an estimate. Answered by rexski - Fri Jun 30 03:52:18 2006 Do people realize how much money we could save on healthcare if we would reform the way we license doctors? Q. Sorry about the length... I promise it is worth the read! *** Besides paying some of the highest prices for health care, we have the dubious distinction of having the most heavily regulated healthcare system in the world. In no other country on earth are doctors and hospitals subjected to as many oversight and enforcement agencies, bureaus and commissions. Rules, regulations, and laws are duplicated, redundant, multiplied, magnified, and contradictory. Laws and regulations covering doctors and hospitals plus all the other parts of our healthcare system now account for over half of all the words, sentences, and paragraphs in our entire body of law. If regulations could make a healthcare system work better, ours would surely be perfect.… [cont.] Asked by Justin - Sun Jul 26 20:58:09 2009 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments A. I don't know much about medicine, that much I confess. I do know that government involvement in it has not improved it since the start of Medicare. The improvements since that time are in spite of government involvement. As far as the AMA, I know nothing of their structure, but the government shouldn't be granting them any kind of monopoly. Maybe they could still exist and do something without government blessing, but if they can't, I'm inclined to think we're better off without them. Now, the American Bar Association is another matter. They do NOT need to be given input over Law Schools, requirements to take the Bar, or selection of judges at ANY level. Law would improve greatly as a profession if it were moved closer to a… [cont.] Answered by open4one - Sun Jul 26 21:14:05 2009 I need help interpreting this article please.?
Q. The financial model's best-case scenario demonstrated savings of up to $13 million des plaines, Ill.- Hospitals, even those with small intensive care units (ICU), would save money by implementing the intensive care unit (ICU) physician staffing standard, according to an article in the June issue of Critical Care Medicine. "Using conservative cost estimates, annualized savings available to hospitals with small, six bed ICU are $500,000, a 12 bed ICU $2 million and an 18 bed ICU $3 million," said lead author Peter J. Pronovost, M.D., Ph.D., associate professor of anesthesiology and critical care, surgery, health policy and management, as well as medical director of the Center for Innovations in Quality Patient Care at The Johns Hopkins… [cont.] Asked by hmmm... - Sun Dec 16 21:46:42 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. What is there to interpret? The article says, it is cheaper in health care costs, and improves patient outcomes to have in-house intensivists. These are physicians educated to manage the issues of patients in a critical care setting. (This is compared to the current model, of physicians who manage their patients by phone from other locations and come to the hospital in critical situations when called) There is hesitation by the current health care community for three reasons. 1. Hospitals don't want to pick up the additional expense for the salary of the intensivists. 2. Hospitals and the current admitting physicians are comfortable with their current arrangement. 3. There may not be enough intensivists being educated to cover the… [cont.] Answered by US_DR_JD - Mon Dec 17 03:21:41 2007 From Yahoo Answer Search: "American Board of Medical Specialties" |
