jsmitty33 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I noticed on the cme4life website that it says: "and while you can always take the exam again, should you ever get sued (and in medicine, it’s not a question of “if” but “when”), your exam results can be entered in as evidence." How realistic is it for your board scores to be brought up in court should you ever get sued? If you have previously failed the PANCE or PANRE is this really used against you, or is this just a scare tactic to buy the review course? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHU-CH Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 I sat through a pretty good seminar last fall that the NCCPA puts on each year for PA faculty. It is a little chance to talk to folks and see behind the scenes. They were pretty emphatic that the PANCE should be viewed as a pass/fail exam and that the scores otherwise do not mean too much. As an example, they did some kind of statistical adjustment within the last couple of years that caused some scores to drop a good bit. If someone wanted to make an issue of board scores, they would have to be able to make a fairly sophisticated statistical argument and the agency that develops the exam would not support them. I would not worry too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator EMEDPA Posted July 19, 2014 Moderator Share Posted July 19, 2014 I think better measures of competence happen after you pass pance: do you have the respect of your peers? are you a lifetime learner? do you go above and beyond within your specialty by taking CAQs, writing articles, serving on dept. committees, precepting students, volunteering in a medical capacity within your community, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbrothers98 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 http://cme4life.com/product/panre-pance-review-dvd-course/ under the product description Thanks This seems like some overzealous salesmanship and potential fearmongering to me. I also think that your legal representation in a case would fight tooth and nail against a release of test scores. Would be interested in finding out if any health care provider whom has been sued actually had board certification test scores become evidence in their case. Seems like a streeeeeeeeetch to me.

GetMeOuttaThisMess Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Heck, I would love to hear someone try to explain to a layperson how the actual score was derived. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UGoLong Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 I'd be interested in the opposing lawyer's Bar exam scores too! We all come to do what we do by strange paths, with missteps along the way. What matters is that you passed in the end. It bothers me when people (like the ad) try to make life seem like a figure-skating competition -- one fall and you are out of the competition. Definitely not so! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBielinski Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I mentioned on a YouTube video that IF you passed the boards on the first attempt is always asked in deposition. I never said that your scores are admissible. But if you failed your boards, that will come up. It's factual. I have been asked both time I was disposed. I want what's good for our profession. And I want to help PAs pass their boards. There is no fear mongering. Peace. J.Bielinski John@CME4Life.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator True Anomaly Posted July 20, 2015 Moderator Share Posted July 20, 2015 I would think any attorney who actually tries to pry into your actual PANCE score already has a razor-thin case against you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
