The Difference Between a Board-Certified Specialist and a Family Veterinarian
A board-certified specialist not only has completed four years of undergraduate school and four years of veterinary school but also a one-year internship and a two- to three-year residency in a chosen specialty. Then, the doctor must publish original research and take a national exam, known as “boards.” Upon successfully passing the exam, the specialist receives the highly distinguished Diplomate status, certifying their expertise in a chosen specialty.
