Jul 22, 2010

Tampa, FL – The Board of Certification in Radiology, an ABPS physician specialty certification board, announced the appointment of Charles E. Murphy as public board member.

Mr. Murphy, an attorney with the Litigation Practice Group of Clark Hill PLC in Birmingham, Michigan has substantial litigation and arbitration experience in healthcare and other areas. Mr. Murphy has represented individual physicians, physician groups and hospitals, including cases involving staff privileges, interference with hospital contracts, physician shareholder disputes, state certification requirements and licensing board investigations and hearings as well as an arbitrator in physician staff privilege hearings at various hospitals. In addition, Mr. Murphy is a member of the American Bar Association, the Oakland County, Michigan Bar Association and the State Bar of Michigan.

“Charles’ healthcare industry perspective will help him represent the public’s point of view on medical board certification,” said Dr. Craig Smith, recent chair of the Board of Certification in Radiology.“  He will provide an added dimension to board certification review and planning, different from that of scientific experts.“

ABPS was the first certifying organization to include public members on member boards, representing the public’s interests in patient welfare.  ABPS public members collaborate with medical professionals to bring critical insight to the physician certification process that contributes to the health and safety of patients.

The Board of Certification in Radiology is a Member Board of the American Board of Physician Specialties (ABPS). ABPS is the official certifying body of the American Association of Physician Specialists, Inc. (AAPS) a not-for-profit organization with headquarters in Tampa, Florida.  ABPS is the first and

Patient Care Is Our Priority

Medical organizations throughout North America understand that our rigorous certification standards prove that ABPS Diplomates are capable of delivering the best patient care possible.

The American Board of Physician Specialties has provided me with the opportunity to demonstrate mastery of internal medicine through board certification. As a hospitalist, board certification is an expected credential, and hospitals recognize the American Board of Physician Specialties (ABPS) as one of the three standard credentialling bodies for Internal Medicine. Additionally, the ABPS has helped me develop leadership skills as a Board member and Committee Chairperson. ABPS has also helped me sharpen critical thinking skills as a test question developer and reviewer. The Allopathic (MD) and Osteopathic (DO) physicians in the ABPS are lifelong learners and frequently pursue multiple board certifications. I enjoy the camaraderie of my peers in ABPS.

When I think historically, advancement in medicine and patient safety and care has been driven by the diversity of people and scientific thought. That’s what I found at the ABPS and more. For over 60 years that is just who we are. I found a physician certifying body that provides a choice and voice to all physicians ensuring that patients are always placed first.

When I decided to pursue a full time role as a physician executive it was important to me to obtain additional professional training, education and work experience. Board certification through the ABPS in Administrative Medicine is validation of my efforts and a demonstration of dedication to professional development. We need more physicians to become full time health care executives, knowing there is a board certification option in Administrative Medicine encourages physicians to take the leap from full time clinical practice to healthcare organizational leadership.
