Board eligible applies only to the period of time prior to initial certification in a specialty or subspecialty. It is not in the best interests of the medical specialty, the credentialing community, patients or the public for board eligibility to remain open for an unspecified period of time.
For initial certification in a specialty, that date must be no fewer than 3 and no more than 7 years following the successful completion of accredited training. In addition, individual Member Board requirements must be met, including time in practice required if any for admissibility to the qualifying or certifying examination.
Member Boards that did not have an existing policy in place established transition dates for their candidates.

Call Patient Education. By Grant D. Yes, Board Eligible is a bad nomer. I like your postings and read them all the time. Great work. Best to you. Must a doctor complete residency in say Pediatrics in the US before he can apply for the board exams or would training elsewhere suffice.
Training in Canada, for example, transfers to the US. In general a person has to complete a residency at a program approved by the US Board, so most of the time a physician trained outside the US must do at least some training in a US program to take the board exam. I would contact them for details. I have many pediatric colleagues who have trained in the UK, so there must be a pathway of some sort.
I suggest you contact the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology to see what the rules are regarding reciprocity of credentials. It actually does matter sometimes. Insurance payers can set their own rules and I believe some require it. No, to be board eligible you have to have completed the entire residency and have a certificate from your program that you did so successfully. Further, the residency program must have been one approved by the council on medical graduate education.
That means the training program has met the proper criteria for their graduates to take the board exam. I have done residency in Urology in my own country. I am currently doing a fellowship in Urology Oncology in US. Good question. At least in pediatrics I know pediatric subspecialists who have gone that route — pediatric residency in their home country and then fellowship in the US and the pediatrics board was OK with that.
But I think the individual boards vary in how they handle that situation. You would have to check with the Board of Urology. MRI shows an urgent need for cervical spine surgery. A young doctor for sure. He was a spine surgeon at the major trauma center hospital nearby and is now in a respected ortho clinic in my town. They all have to start somewhere with willing patients but I am concerned about having him do the work when there are other board certified spine surgeons in the same clinic.
Does his acceptance by the older surgeons at the clinic have any weight and is that worth considering him as my surgeon? However, as you say, somebody who is well trained and is accepted by the other members of his group should be an endorsement of his skills. What happens if you fail board exam?
