A veterinary specialist is a veterinarian who specializes in a clinical field of veterinary medicine. ''"A veterinary specialist, as recognized by the AVMA, is a graduate veterinarian who has successfully completed the process of board certification in an AVMA-recognized veterinary specialty organization (ie, board or college). To become board certified, a veterinarian must have extensive post-graduate training and experience and a credential review and examinations set by the given specialty organization."'' () Most specialties require a 1-year internship or 2 years of clinical practice prior to beginning a residency of 2–3 years' duration. Most specialties require the resident to produce some academic contribution (often in the form of a scientific publication) in order to qualify to sit the certifying examination. Admission or entry into a Veterinary Specialization is quite competitive in the United States and Canada. A general practice veterinarian needs to attend 1 year of clinical internship or 2 years of clinical experience at animal hospital and additionally needs strong research work or publication in that particular field. A Veterinary Specialist may be consulted when an animal’s condition requires specialized care above and beyond that which a regular veterinarian can offer. Many Veterinary Specialists require a referral in order to be seen. After treatment, a Veterinary Specialist may stay in close contact with the referring veterinarian to provide ongoing treatment suggestions and advice. Veterinary specialists may earn 2-3 times more than general practicing veterinarians. ==Specialties== *Alternative medicine *Anaesthesiology *Animal behavior *Animal welfare *Birds (pet and ornamental) *Bovine *Canine *Cardiology *Chiropractic *Clinical pathology *Clinical pharmacology *Dentistry *Dermatology (veterinary dermatology) *Diagnostic imaging (diagnostic imaging of animals) *Equine *Emergency and critical care (veterinary intensive care and veterinary emergency medicine) *Feline *Internal medicine *Laboratory animal medicine *Microbiology (veterinary microbiology; clinical microbiology of animals) *Neurology and neurosurgery (veterinary neurology; veterinary neurosurgery) *Nutrition *Oncology (cancer in animals) *Ophthalmology (veterinary ophthalmology) *Parasitology *Pathology (veterinary pathology) *Poultry *Preventive medicine *Radiology (veterinary radiology) *Reptile and amphibian *Shelter medicine *State veterinary medicine *Sports medicine *Surgery *Theriogenology *Toxicology *Zoological medicine (includes zoo, wildlife, aquatics, and exotic pet species) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Veterinary specialties」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
