What is a board-certified veterinary specialist?
Board-certified specialist status is one of the highest levels of achievement for a veterinarian.
A veterinary specialist is a veterinarian who has undergone extensive training in a chosen field of discipline beyond the basic veterinary degree.
To achieve specialist qualification, one has to have undergone a rigorous training program supervised by qualified senior specialists, published studies in peer-reviewed journals, be involved in a set minimal amount of cases and pass an exhaustive examination process.
