ASMS opposes subcertification.(POLICY & PRACTICE)(American Society for Mohs Surgery )(Brief article)

The American Society for Mohs Surgery is coming out in opposition to the American Board of Dermatology's proposal for a subcertification in procedural dermatology. Such a certification would be redundant, said ASMS President Stephen Spencer, in a statement. The proposal, if passed, "will divide the house of dermatology between medical and surgical, lead to economic credentialing, and may lead to increased litigation ir a new standard of care is perceived," said Dr. Spencer. The American Board of Medical Specialties Committee on Certification, Subcertification and Recertification was due to meet in early August.
