Great news! Keith was just notified via email that he passed his derm path boards! Yahoo!
That was the last gut-wrenching exam that he'll have to take for a long, long time.
And now he's officially double board certified in dermatology and dermatopathology.
Mohs surgery doesn't have a board exam (yet), so since he completed a Mohs fellowship he is actually triple specialized.
Sounds fancy, right? Are you wondering what a triple specialized doctor does all day?
Well, today he's sitting at a microscope in his darkened office reading slide after slide containing skin cancer biopsies (which I personally think all look exactly the same), while his elbows get sore and he probably gets a headache. Does it get any better than that?!
Jokes aside, Luke and I are very proud of him and thrilled that the hard core exam studying is over.
Here's the first paragraph of the letter. It went on and on for two pages, but honestly, didn't every exam-taker just get to the "pleased to inform you" part, take a deep sigh of relief and close the letter?
