Voices that Transform ABIM: Drs. Richard Baron & Clarence Braddock in NEJM
Dr. Richard J. Baron, American Board of Internal Medicine President and CEO, and Dr. Clarence Braddock, Chair of the ABIM Board of Directors, both bring years of experience to their roles at ABIM. They collaborated on a recent Perspectives article in the New England Journal of Medicine, which shares the story of ABIM’s transformation to support physicians as they strive to stay current and to deliver a credential that continues to live up to the expectation of excellence inherent in our profession. The article provides some history and context about the credential and details 20 months of profound change at ABIM, all of which has only been possible through physician input.
