[QUOTE="Benben, post: 4470278, member: 25133"] You need to educate yourself! An MD is a degree obtained by completing a set course work at a university or private college. "Practicing medical doctors" in the context you used means those doctors (after obtaining their degres) are licensed by the state after sitting and passing multiple national as well as state exams. "Board Certification" is a designation earned after doing all the above plus ( I do not claim to know all the requirements of all the differing "specialities") a year to multiple years of additional studies and passing brutal board exams. That last exam is usually both written as well as oral! In the U.S. doctors practicing medicine come from medical as well as osteopathic schools, if they studied here. I would be willing to bet schools from other countries have degrees (for example PhD's) that their doctors obtain in order to "practice medicine" that are not M.D. or DO. Those doctors may come to the US and practice medicine if they apply for and meet the qualifications set out nationally and at the state level. Your claim of having a "qualified obeservation" concerning this topic is a joke! [/QUOTE]
