Certification vs. Licensure: Understanding the Difference

Earning a certification, like in Functional Nutrition, provides valuable knowledge but doesn’t equate to a medical license. Only licensed professionals have passed board exams ensuring they’re fully trained and safe to practice as medical professionals. Certification is an important step, but it’s distinct from licensure, which is state-regulated and required for diagnosing and treating patients. Nor are they bound by a code of ethics. #AndraAnnette #liscensedtopracticeboardofprofessions
