Requirements for Specialists in Veterinary Internal Medicine

• A board-certified veterinary specialist has completed up to 12 years of college education and training. After completion of required undergraduate coursework, the candidate must graduate from a four-year veterinary program. An additional year of internship and three years residency training are then required in the specific field of specialization. To become board-certified, the specialist must then pass rigorous training and testing requirements. A board-certified specialist in veterinary internal medicine has received advanced training in all areas of internal medicine including respiratory, gastrointestinal, liver, endocrine, and kidney disorders. An internist has also received training in minimally invasive procedures such as endoscopy and laparoscopy.
