DID YOUR DOCTOR INTERN AT E-BAY?

From the medblog "Cut to Cure":

"The American Board of Surgery has revised its testing policies after a doctor who failed a certification exam went back to review his test, wrote down the answers to dozens of questions and then put them up for sale on an Internet auction site.

"The Philadelphia-based board, which has certified tens of thousands of surgeons nationwide, found out last summer that 86 questions used on its 290-question multiple-choice exam were listed on eBay. Questions used on the exam are rotated from a large pool each year."

Next time you're in the office, you better check those diplomas on the wall!
