submitted a request to the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) Committee on Certifi cation (COCERT) seeking permission to do so. The American Board of Pediatrics (ABPeds) began issuing certifi cates without end dates at the beginning of this year, and the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) soon will make a similar request to also begin in 2011. The fact that all 3 primary care Boards have contemplated these changes at the same time is not by mistake.
