What’s up, Doc? No medical professional has truly “made it” until they have a fancy placard hanging in their office that reads “BOARD CERTIFIED.” This lofty distinction brings your patients comfort, as they know they are dealing with a doctor who knows what they’re doing (most of the time).

What’s up, Doc? No medical professional has truly “made it” until they have a fancy placard hanging in their office that reads “BOARD CERTIFIED.” This lofty distinction brings your patients comfort, as they know they are dealing with a doctor who knows what they’re doing (most of the time).
But the medical board doesn’t just hand out framed certificates like Halloween candy. You have to earn it! If you can match all of the following organs to their function, chances are the board will certify you. And then comes your country club membership, Mercedes Benz, perhaps even a shift into national politics. The opportunities are endless once you get that board certification up on the wall.
The human body is a marvel of organic engineering, and it’s up to you to identify all the organs, gears, and moving parts. So snap on some latex gloves and charge your stethoscope. It’s doctor time!Â
