The NCMS has sent a letter to the NC Medical Board (NCMB) regarding the Board’s proposed rule about advertising of specialty and board certification. Before preparing the letter, the NCMS held two meetings of a multi-specialty work group that addressed which certifying entities should be recognized by the NCMB and the advertising standards for board certification and specialization. The NCMS supports requiring minimum levels of accreditation or education when medical providers publicize their qualifications or skills. Read the letter sent by NCMS President Douglas D. Sheets, MD, to NCMB President Donald E. Jablonski, DO.
