The Career Rx Podcast for Doctors
Business:Careers
Should you maintain board certification if you switch to a nonclinical career? Are there more relevant or less burdensome alternatives to the requirements of your primary board certifying body?
These are common questions from many physicians, in clinical and nonclinical careers. Today, get ready to learn about the National Board of Physicians and Surgeons (NBPAS) - a non-profit, physician-led organization providing a pathway for continuous specialty and subspecialty certification.
In this episode of The Career Rx we’ll discuss:
Today’s guests are Karen Schatten, Associate Director at NBPAS, and Dr. Karen Sibert, Physician Advisory Board Member at NBPAS. They give me the download on NBPAS - why it was founded, how it is run, and what they view as key benefits that differentiate NBPAS as a pathway for continuous certification.
This episode will be relevant to all physicians who are interested in maintaining certification via an evidence based, specialty specific, and highly relevant pathway - one that may also be more streamlined and less financially burdensome.
