What licenses are required to become an ob/gyn?

A whole lot: Ob/gyns complete college, followed by 4 years of medical school, and then a grueling 4 year residency program. In order to practice medicine, they must also pass a rigorous sent of exams. If this wasn't enough, some of them become board certified, which is an even more difficult exam. It is worthwhile to enter the medical profession, but it is not for the faint of heart.

OB/Gyn : To become an OB/Gyn a doctor must finish medical school and obtain their medical license from the state or states where they wish to practice. A 4 year residency program in obstetrics and gynecology is next completed and the doctor must pass the specialty boards to become a certified OB/Gyn. Not all OB/ Gyn doctors are certified. Make sure you see a doctor who is board certified.
