Why not petition for PA speciality certification the same as the doc's

[ventana]

The is a new certification for doc's -  subspecialty of addiction medicine

 

The Certification Exam

Starting in the fall of 2017, ABPM will offer physicians who are certified by a Member Board of the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) the opportunity to become certified in the subspecialty of addiction medicine. .

The next five years following the date of the first exam is an optimum time for physicians to become Board Certified in addiction medicine. Physicians who are already certified by any of the 24 member Boards and have substantial experience in the field of addiction medicine are eligible to apply to take the examination.  During the first five years the examination is given, individuals will NOT be required to complete an addiction medicine fellowship. After that, a one-year addiction medicine fellowship will be required. For more information, please visit http://www.theabpm.org/.

Why not start a campaign where we take the same test, have to get the same passing grade and become certified as well???
