This maybe obvious, but the question comes after seeing Dr Shannon Curry testify in the AH VS JD trial.
AH lawyer states she’s only practiced for 8 years and not board certified (or something to that effect).
Dr Curry stated she’s practiced for 15 years and been licensed for 10 years.
What’s the difference between board certified and licensed?

Answer: Dr. Shannon Curry is a licensed but not board certified clinical psychologist.
To practice, psychologists need to meet state education and license requirements.
A small percentage spends the extra time and money to get certified in a specialty. Some employers and insurance companies require it. (The Veterans Administration and Department of Defense pay certified psychologists more.) Board certification can make a doctor more marketable and/or earn them respect—for example, while testifying in court or when a prospective patient is choosing a provider.
