Doctors who are ABMS and AOA board-certified are all licensed. But doctors who are licensed are not necessarily members of an ABMS or AOA member board. Wise patients understand the background and importance of board certification for medical specialties.

Board certification is different from medical licensure, which is required by law for an individual to practice medicine.
