160.962 Continued Grandfather Status for Taking Board Exams
The duly licensed physician should be the only requirement for practice of medicine and the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) should keep the promise of their “grandfather” clause. MSSNY’s position is that there should be more than one pathway to participation in insurance companies, hospital privileges and other organizations (eg, ambulatory surgery centers) and encourages the ABMS to work with other societies to find what pathways ensure physician competency and pursuit of lifelong learning. (HOD 2019-214; reaffirmed HOD 2020-67 by Council 6/3/21)
