Certification, Licensing, and Special Requirements

Certification or Licensing

At an early point in the residency period, all physicians must pass a state medical board examination to obtain a license and enter practice. Each state sets its own requirements and issues its own licenses, although some states will accept licenses from other states. The American Board of Pathology and the American Osteopathic Board of Pathology are the governing boards for pathologist certification.
