# Manage board certifications for a practitioner

`PUT /practitioners/{id}/board-certifications`

Updates, creates, or deletes board certification records for the specified practitioner; supply an array of certification items where each item includes an `action` field indicating the operation to perform (`create`, `update`, or `delete`). Use this to synchronize the complete set of board certifications for a practitioner — adding new certifications, modifying existing ones, or removing certifications that are no longer valid; operations are applied per-item based on the `action` field. `{id}` is the `certifyPractitionerId`. Submitting an empty array wholesale-clears the entire board-certifications section with no confirmation step — there is no null/empty guard on this endpoint.
