Abstrakt: In exercising the Chairman's prerogative this afternoon I wish to address the Section on certain activities and impacts of the American Board of Internal Medicine. I feel impelled to discuss this topic because of certain rather widespread misunderstandings that have arisen about the board. As one of the two co-sponsoring organizations this Section must obviously have a deep interest in the board's policies and activities; hence I am sure you will appreciate the reasons for my choice of this subject. What I shall have to say represents my own information and views as an individual member of the board; nevertheless, it is a pleasure to state that the other members have been kind enough to read this paper and approve of its being presented to you today.The first of the misunderstandings to which I referred a moment ago relates to the constitution and degree of autonomy of the board.
