  • Title: Measurement, Certification, and Quality: Meeting Enduring Challenges with Modern Tools.
    Author: Wachter RM.
    Journal: Ophthalmology; 2016 Sep; 123(9 Suppl):S46-9. PubMed ID: 27550005.
    Abstract:
    The author, a former chair of the ABIM, describes the challenges that the board certification enterprise is experiencing as medicine shifts from being a paper-based to a digital industry. While there are clearly threats to board certification, he argues that boards can remain highly relevant if they focus on areas in which they can make unique contributions, such as the measurement of cognitive skills, diagnostic accuracy, "keeping up," and procedural skills.
