I would certainly rather let decisions about certification of doctors be in the hands of doctors than anyone else. There's potential for a conflict of interest, but there's also expertise that isn't replicated anywhere else.

You are conflating two different ideas. Supply management and certification are not one and the same. You can have supply management without certification, and you can have certification without supply management. The parent only expressed concern over the supply management practice, not the certification practice.
