Specialties are recognized by the American Veterinary Medical Association’s American Board of Veterinary Specialties.

Advanced Training for Surgical Expertise
A board-certified veterinary surgeon has undergone additional, rigorous training after veterinary school in order to become a specialist. This training consists of a minimum of a 1-year internship followed by a 3-year residency program that meets guidelines established by the American College of Veterinary Surgeons (ACVS).
During the residency, there are specific training and caseload requirements that must be met. In addition to these requirements, applicants must perform research that is published in a scientific journal and then pass a rigorous examination.
Specialists are called a “Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Surgeons” or a “board-certified surgeon.”
