Portland Veterinary Specialists

OUR BOARD CERTIFIED SPECIALISTS

Our Medical Facility Staff

Veterinary Specialists are veterinarians who obtain extensive, lengthy post-graduate training (typically, four years beyond veterinary school) and experience. They must then pass a credential review and a rigorous examination process by the individual specialty board. Only when the veterinarian has successfully satisfied all requirements of the respective specialty board, he or she becomes "board certified" to practice that specialty. The American Veterinary Medical Association recognizes twenty-one specialty areas.
