SPEX is revenge from
Medical Boards for Lapsed Licenses
Special Purpose
Examination (SPEX) is a test constructed in hell to punish physicians who were
either forced from practice or allowed their licenses to lapse. Constructed by
the politically active Federation of State Medical Boards, this test’s contents
covers more than a dozen subjects. Federation officials claim general medical
reading should allow one to sit for this test and pass, untrue. The failure
rate is extremely high with many examinees taking this test two, three or more
times. Medical Boards provide no insights or preparation to enable physicians
to pass this strenuous examination. Literature provided by the Federation
concerning SPEX is misleading and provides minimal help to the potential
examinee. Books, pamphlets and test question material on the market are out of date,
as most physician find out after their first failing grade. This is where a SPEX
tutor/mentor is very helpful.
SPEX tutors/mentors can
guide the potential examinee in their studies, both by reviewing question
content and current test subject matter. Studying for this exam takes much
effort and preparation time. With the help of a SPEX tutor/mentor, such as the
author of this article, those efforts will move in the proper direction.
Looking for help to prepare for this arduous exam please contact Dr. Mark
Davis, MD who has helped many physicians in their quest to pass SPEX.

services.
