The committee hopes to respond to the concerns of practicing internists regarding this issue, develop goals for recertification that are jointly endorsed by both ACP-ASIM and ABIM, and establish a mutually agreeable relationship that defines the responsibilities and limits of each organization and avoids organizational conflict of interest. The committee hopes to have this accomplished by December 2000. For background information about ABIM's proposed continuous professional development program, please read the article by ABIM President Harry Kimball, MD that was recently published in Annals of Internal Medicine . Keep in mind that although the College publishes Annals , Annals maintains editorial independence, and therefore can publish any article its editorial board deems appropriate. Lastly, if you are interested in providing feedback to the joint committee, please complete the online form or print and fax this form to the number listed as soon as possible.
