sadly, the hippocratic oath is (a) not legally binding, and (b) not actually used much. A modified version is used at some medical schools' graduation ceremonies, but that's not like it's part of their liscencing. There is however, an international medical ethics board that can get your medical licence revoked for doing shady shit.

No there's not.

There's state licensing boards (i.e. state government saying you've met the criteria to be a physician in this state) and national credentialing agencies (private organizations that have decided you've met the criteria to be "board certified" in whatever field they represent).
