yall do NOT come for me I know this gonna sound stupid but I’m curious. why does every medical position like np, crna, md, do, etc. have ‘board certified’ on their website? Like would they even be able to legally practice if they don’t pass board exams?

Not every medical position strictly requires board certification, they put it bc it reduces legal and financial risk for hospitals

Gives reassurance. And no you would not able to practice without board certification for most circumstances!

Well, I’m in vet med but I know to be a vet assistant you don’t need to have a real certification, but that is smth you can have. Some states may have other requirements as well. Think of it like a rabies shot, not required before you work places, but helped with liability purposes if you do get bit.
