What is a Veterinary Specialty Internist?
Veterinarians who have successfully completed a residency over several years, and have met the certification requirements of the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine (ACVIM) are considered Diplomates. These requirements include intensive training under the supervision of current ACVIM diplomates and passing a rigorous multi-day exam. Upon completion of this program, this veterinarian is truly considered a specialist in Internal Medicine.
