episode 001 of The Paradocs Podcast: Maintenance of Certification & Mickey Ice Cream Sandwiches

Eric & Meg discuss what maintenance of certification (MOC) is and why it is a problem for physicians and their patients. Meg describes why the MOC process is so destructive to the practice of medicine and why non-physicians should care.

Eric asks the important question: Everyone wants a board certified physician but do you want one certified through the National Board of Physicians & Surgeons or the American Board of Medical Specialties? If you can't answer that question then maybe we need to rethink what the American public really wants.

Meg goes over a number of shady practices that physicians have to perform to stay board certified and how those are detrimental to physicians' lives and patient care.

They also discuss Meg's Speed Bump Kitchen website, her recipe for Mickey's Ice Cream Sandwiches and how her children discover that cooking is hard.
