Some basic Info about the additional expertise of specialists: ABOUT VETERINARY SPECIALISTS: (ACVIM=American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine): ACVIM has more than 1,400 active members, called ACVIM Diplomates, who are Board-certified specialists. These specialists have dedicated 3 to 6 years of their professional career to advanced training in veterinary medicine. Only veterinarians who have successfully completed ACVIM’s rigorous training and testing requirements are certified as Diplomates, and have earned the right to be called Board-certified specialists in veterinary internal medicine."The amount of training an ACVIM Board-certified specialist is required to have goes far beyond the technical aspects of veterinary care," said Bruce Madewell, DVM, incoming ACVIM Board Chair. "Our training includes an extensive amount of time dedicated to all aspects of cardiology, neurology, oncology and internal medicine. This breadth of training helps ensure that we provide an optimum level of care for all our patients."
