Why was longterm "Psychiatrist" Stephen Barrett NEVER BOARD CERTIFIED??????????
For decades after getting his MD ... he either failed the board certification or steadfastly refused to be tested? These certifications protect the patients and the public ... Refusal or Failure to be board certified ... AND continuing to "practice" protects the uncertified MD ... Which was it? Did Barrett fail? or Did he refuse to protect his patients???????????/ http://www.abpn.com/geninfo/what_psychiatrist.html What is an ABPN Board-Certified Psychiatrist? The ABPN is one of twenty-four certifying boards that are members of the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS). Although many groups may use the term “board” in their title, only those with the highest qualification standards may become members of the ABMS. Patients can be assured that an ABPN board-certified psychiatrist has been certified as having special skills and knowledge to diagnose and treat specific problems and to medically manage the care of psychiatric disorders. A psychiatrist is a physician who specializes in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of mental, addictive, and emotional disorders, such as: Depression Anxiety Substance abuse Psychosis Developmental disabilities Sexual dysfunction Adjustment reactions He or she understands the biological, psychological, and social components of illness and is qualified to order diagnostic laboratory tests, to prescribe medications, to evaluate and treat psychological and interpersonal problems, and to give continuing care for psychiatric problems. The psychiatrist is also prepared to help individuals and families who are coping with stress, crises, and other life problems. He or she may also act as a consultant to primary care physicians or to non-medical psychotherapists such as psychologists, social workers or nurse-practitioners. Back to top | General Information Index How Does a Psychiatrist Obtain Board Certification? In order to be certified by the ABPN, a psychiatrist must fulfill educational, practice, and examination requirements. The following is a brief summary of those requirements. Potential candidates for certification should refer to the Certification section of this web site for a more detailed description of the requirements. Educational Requirements The physician must possess an MD or DO degree from an accredited school of medicine or osteopathy (or international equivalent). The physician must complete at least four years of accredited post-graduate (residency) training including a minimum of three years of training in psychiatry. Subspecialty certification requires additional training beyond these four years. The content of the training programs and the performance of physician trainees are closely monitored by the Residency Review Committee for Psychiatry of the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). Practice Requirements The psychiatrist must have an unrestricted license to practice medicine in the United States or Canada. The psychiatrist must have maintained a high standard of personal and professional conduct. Examination Requirements The psychiatrist must pass a day-long written examination covering knowledge of the basic sciences as well as the clinical science of psychiatry and its subspecialties. The psychiatrist must pass an oral examination which includes observation of the history-taking and examination skills of the psychiatrist with an actual patient. This examination is designed to assess the psychiatrist’s clinical skills with special reference to competence and safety. Is Certification Time-Limited? All certificates issued by the ABPN after October 1, 1994, are limited to a period of ten years. Prior to the certificate’s expiration date, a Board-certified psychiatrist will have to pass another examination to be recertified for another ten-year period. |

Did Barrett fail the test? Or did he refuse to be tested? As Orac and others have told you, it was not important at the time he began practising. He completed his training and residencies and was board eligible by the standards in effect at the time. Of course, you will never stop bleating and braying about this. |

LOL ... he had decades of "practicing" on patients who had no protection ... They needed no protection as he was fully qualified to practice psychiatry. He didn't give up his medical license and remove that level of protection to the public until the early 90's. He retired, Nothing sinister about it. No big deal, except to loons. Do you understand DECADES ...???????? Do you understand that it is irrelevant? No, as that is a polysyllabic word. Did he fail the boards or refuse to take them? Neither, They were not important as Orac has pointed out. Of course, you have been immunized against reason. |

Did Barrett fail the test? Or did he refuse to be tested? Ask him. Or write to the certifying specialty board & ask them. Board certification is NOT a requirement to practice medicine, nor is it the be-all, end-all standard of a doctor's competence. It is one of many certifications MD's may obtain -- or not. Just like membership (or lack thereof) in various voluntary organizations doesn't prove anything. |

Did Ilena Rose(nthal) ever go to college? Why did she never go to medical school? Why has she never completed a residency? Whe isn't SHE board certified? Has she ever undergone any medical training at all? Why has she never been published in any scholarly journals? Why has she never been applauded by her peers (if such exist)? Why is she choosing this issue to drub Dr. Barrett with? Mark, MD |

Refusal or Failure to be board certified ... AND continuing to "practice" protects the uncertified MD ... Which was it? Did Barrett fail? It has been explained to you many, many times why many physicians of Barrett's generation didn't pursue Board certification. A few examples by me: http://www.google.com/groups?selm=or...04%40news4-ge1. srv.hcvlny.cv.net&output=gplain http://www.google.com/groups?selm=or...1%40news4.suck news.com&output=gplain (This one's from 2001, showing that Ilena is nothing, if not consistent, in her deceptive attacks and insinuations.) http://www.google.com/groups?selm=or...3%40host9.news feeds.com&output=gplain http://www.google.com/groups?selm=or...04%40news4.srv. hcvlny.cv.net&output=gplain http://www.google.com/groups?selm=or...092004%40news4. srv.hcvlny.cv.net&output=gplain (from two days ago) http://www.google.com/groups?selm=or...04%40news4.srv. hcvlny.cv.net&output=gplain http://www.google.com/groups?selm=or...4%40news04.eas t.earthlink.net&output=gplain http://www.google.com/groups?selm=or...04%40news4-ge1. srv.hcvlny.cv.net&output=gplain http://www.google.com/groups?selm=or...03%40news4.srv. hcvlny.cv.net&output=gplain Sorry to others for the repetition, but, as you can see, I have explained to Ilena many times why Barrett's lack of Board certification means nothing with regards to his competence. She simply doesn't listen and periodically starts posting the same crap again. I've gotten tired of typing the same rebuttals to her again and again; so I'll simply save this and post the URLs when necessary. -- Orac |"A statement of fact cannot be insolent." | |"If you cannot listen to the answers, why do you | inconvenience me with questions?" |
