The other piece of good news is that on Feb. 22, we received a survey from the AAGP essentially asking what we thought of the discrepancies in recertification requirements between child and geriatric psychiatrists. Clearly I’m not alone, and implicit in the questions is a concern about geriatric psychiatrists not recertifying. (I wonder why.)
Maybe 2016 will prove to be a good year, after all.
