A clear definition of recertification as a measure of continuing education rather than continuing competency, coupled with established procedures for testing and retesting and alternating with educational opportunities, can do much to alleviate the anxiety associated with this process. Orthopedic surgeons should not be averse to demonstrating that they have kept up-to-date, but should be assured that decertification will not be a result of the recertification process.
将再认证明确界定为一种继续教育手段而非持续能力评估手段，并辅之以既定的测试和重新测试程序以及与教育机会交替进行的方式，对于缓解与这一过程相关的焦虑大有帮助。骨科医生不应反感展示自己与时俱进，但应确保不会因再认证过程而导致取消认证。
