What is a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Surgeons?


Currently there are only 1470 veterinary surgical diplomates in the world.  Additional training is required to become board certified in surgery.  After completion of 4 years of veterinary school, a 1 year internship and 3 years of advanced surgical training are required.   At the completion of the training, all surgical candidates must pass a comprehensive 3 day exam in order to obtain this specialized certification.
