Professionalism Matters! Real Cases from the American Board of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation

Brief Session Description : Professionalism is a strategic focus for the American Board of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (ABPMR). A definition of “Professionalism in Physiatry” has been approved by the ABPMR, AAPM&R and AAP and is the foundation for ongoing professionalism expectations in our specialty. The ABPMR regularly reviews cases of professionalism breaches in PM&R which may impact the status of a physician’s board certification. This session will be a participatory discussion of real (de identified) professionalism cases brought before the ABPMR. Learners will be invited to discuss the cases and “vote” (electronically or other) regarding board certification.
