Guinness World Records also recognized the world record for the largest ambulance; it is operated by the Dubai Government's Centre of Ambulance Services, which measures 20.03 m (65.71 ft) designed by Dr. Martin von Bergh of Global Medical Consulting, with a total treatment and transport capacity of 123 patients and staff.
The world's largest ambulance was assembled by the company Gebr. Heymann GmBH and equipped by Cytomed Middle East. The ambulances consist of an operating theatre, three intensive care units and eight immediate care units.

Board certification is the process by which a physician (M.D. or D.O.), dentist (DDS or DMD), pharmacist (Pharm.D.), or podiatrist (DPM) in the United States demonstrates through either written, practical, and/or simulator based testing, a mastery of the basic knowledge and skills that define an area of medical specialization.
Physicians seeking board certification in a given area of specialty must successfully complete and pass an examination process designed to test their mastery of the minimum knowledge and skills contained in the core competency document.
Prior to taking the examination, a physician must graduate with a degree, either MD or DO, and meet all other prerequisites to certification as set out by the certifying agency or "board."
"My career goal is to become that physician, in the history of United States, who has achieved the most medical board/sub-specialty board certifications of all time; and be able to translate what I have learned into best patient care," Dr. Xiulu Ruan said.
