Serious question -- is there such a thing as an anesthesiologist who is not "board-certified"? I shudder to think there are anesthesiologists out there who didn't have to pass any sort of certification process...
Yes, most are not certified because 'the board' is specific to each country and depending on country maybe each province/state or each city/municipality. To practice in a certain geographical area, you'd have to certified by the board in that area. Some countries have treaties that will recognize other boards as sufficient. In the end, it gets complicated and you only really need to worry about it if you are in the field.
