Allopathic edit
This term is poorly understood, and has several meanings, including derogatory ones. I have replaced the term with MD or other, well understood and unambiguous, words where appropriate. I had no expectation that this would be controversial, and I'm sure they are good changes that the community will approve of. --221.202.40.78 (talk) 20:28, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
Only the USA board certifies edit

DVMs have boards too edit
Is it worth mentioning that veterinarians (in the US at least) also have board certifications. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.75.106.99 (talk) 01:50, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

Wording edit
"While medical licensing in general has been criticized, the board certification process specifically has also had its fair share." (bold added) the wording of this sentence could be taken in the sense that 'fair' indicates deserved. Alternately it could mean a non-small but moderate amount. Should this be reworded?
