About Us : Board Certified Specialists

 


What is a Board Certified Specialist?

 

Like human medicine, veterinarians may choose to specialize in one particular field such as surgery or internal medicine.  In order to become a specialist, one must complete all requirements to become a licensed veterinarian.  Once they graduate from veterinary school, one must undergo additional and extensive training.  Residents must complete clinical experience in their chosen specialty, publish a clinical case or findings, and pass a credential review and board examinations.
