I've been studying for months. Hopefully, it will all pay off.
Those of us who became board certified after 1990 have to re-certify every ten years. It's a nuisance to study and take exams, but I suppose there's some merit to it -- medicine changes so much in just a few years. In my specialty, interventional cardiology, in ten years alone there have been revolutionary changes to how we perform angioplasty, the medicines we use, and the stents that were just beginning to come into use ten years ago.
One of my mentors, who certified years ago, likes to gloat to me about how he never has to take an internal medicine or cardiology board exam ever again. I jokingly remind him that that's because he's old.
So here goes nothing tomorrow. If I pass, then no more exams until 2012, when I have to re-certify in internal medicine.

GL- not that you need it! recertification is a very good thing. as a PE in CT, all you have to do is pay the fee and you keep your license... scary.
