Here is a link that explains it

No that really does NOT explain it.......it just gives ABC's and YOUR VIEW of it.

So I did some of my own research.......

* He was board Certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology for nearly 10 years.

* Now, he is board Certified by National Board of Ophthalmology, which he was a big player in creating.

Do you even care, or understand WHY the NBO was created?? Basically doctors who were certified prior to a certain year never have to be certified again. Rand Paul created the NBO to FORCE a better method of certifying Opthamologists.....but I guess that doesn't matter.

Personally, I'd much rather have a DOC that is certified every few years than one that was grandfathered in due to age.
