ABNM-ABR Proposal SNMMI Survey Summary ~20% response rate (547 of 2695 full physician members) ~80% US, ~20% international responses ~80-90% physician respondents (makes sense since they are most directly affected) On average: ~55% “against” (either straight or agree with original non-supportive SNMMI letter); ~29% “for” the proposal Board status seemed to predict decision (against/for): –ABNM only (n=199, 60%/17%) –Dual-boarded (n=90, 37%/50%) –ABR only (n=18, 17%/56%) ABNM-only MDs most motivated (11:1 compared to ABR only) to respond and felt disenfranchised by proposed ABNM dissolution Jadvar

ABNM-ABR Proposal Request for SNMMI Response Need YES or NO answer to proposal (no shades of gray!) Response by early October 2015 (ABR deadline, inflexible) Learned critical features based on prior meetings: –ABNM dissolution is not negotiable and is prerequisite to move forward –4 m NM during DR for full scope of practice: off the table –Single pathway geared toward recruitment from med school –No pathway for non-imaging specialists –No definition of “broad consensus” –No defined “exit strategy” Jadvar
