What does "board certification" mean?

Board certification is performed through the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine (ACVIM). There are several specialties within the College of Internal Medicine including; Internal Medicine, Oncology, Neurology, and Cardiology. To become board certified veterinarians must complete at least 3 years of a residency program, often the training after veterinary school is up to 5 years. After completing the residency program a series of tests must be passed to become "board certified".
