New York panel backs universal physician recertification plan
New York would require all 50,000 physicians to be re-examined to renew licenses under a unanimously approved plan by a state medical panel formed by Gov. Cuomo.

The AMA has voiced reservations, questioning effectiveness. Chancellor Martin Barell says the move breaks new ground, with physicians needing to stay current and deficient practitioners potentially facing corrective steps or removal.
