So I took the BC exam on Thursday. It’s my first recertification and I honestly didn’t feel great about it.
I’m a hospitalist and there seemed to be a decent amount of dermatology and GYN/contraceptive stuff. I don’t do that stuff anymore. I don’t do pediatrics anymore either.
Today I received my “preliminary pass” score. Of course they put a nice disclaimer by it. There is no guarantee that the final score will be the same etc. etc……
I had too much going on in my life to take the test back in the spring. So I bet on myself. A passing score was due by the end of the year or my board certification will lapse. Pretty gutsy since my hospitals’ bylaws state that a loss of board certification leads to a voluntary relinquishment of hospital privileges. I’ll never roll the dice like this again. My question is….and I’m sure this is just the OCD talking… …..Has anyone heard of someone receiving a final result, which is different from their preliminary result? Either way? Just curious to know.
