Dr. Melander is now Board Certified in Orthopedic Surgery and Sports Medicine!
Board Certification is not a requirement for physicians.
After graduating from medical school physicians are required to complete a residency, internship, and some additional medical education.
They are then eligible to take an exam for licensure in the state they wish to practice in. Once they pass this exam they are eligible, but not required to become Board Certified.
To obtain Board Certification, physicians are required to log extensive hours of specialty-specific training in addition to passing an exam. Physicians who seek Board Certification have gone above and beyond the basic requirements of their profession to provide optimal care to their patients.
