As many of you may remember, I was studying hard for a year to prepare for my Medical Board Recertification exam I have to pass every ten years to remain Board Certified. This keeps me in the upper echelon of internists nationally. This was my third time taking the exam at these 10 year intervals. I have always passed on the first try.

It's a very serious exam, with serious benefits if passed, and repercussions if failed. I study almost daily every day, for decades, but I put over 400 hours into preparing for this test specifically.

I also prayed continually, as the Bible instructs.

An hour ago I received word I passed.

God is good.

Glad to read this! It shows us you didn't get your education at some school in the Caribbean!

Congrats Doc! I know those exams are exhausting. I've seen the stress the doctor I work for go through with hers.
