MAYBE HE MEANT THAT HE'S CERTIFIABLE?:

Rand Paul's ophthalmology certification not recognized by national clearinghouse (Joseph Gerth, 6/14/10, courier-journal.com)

U.S. Senate candidate Rand Paul says he is a "board-certified" ophthalmologist -- even though the national clearinghouse for such certifications says he hasn't been for the past five years.

Rand Paul, who practices in Bowling Green, says he is certified by the National Board of Ophthalmology, a group that he incorporated in 1999 and that he heads.

But that entity is not recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties, which works with the American Medical Association to approve such specialty boards.

What the hey, Jimmy Carter called himself a nuclear physicist because he'd studied physics.
