A license legally required in order to treat patients is issued and required by the state in which the doctor practices medicine. A specialty certificate is issued by a medical specialty certifing board, which is vaild nationwide.

Although certification is not required for a physican to practice medicine most hospitals require that at least a certain % be board certified.
