What is a board-certified zoo veterinarian?
There are slightly more than 100 board-certified zoo vets in the world. Lincoln Park Zoo has one and another on the way! Lincoln Park Zoo also teaches an ACZM-approved program for teaching residents (link). Board-certified vets must complete either a three-year zoo residency or six years as a full time zoo vet, publish five papers, one which is a research project, and take a two-day test that covers all zoo and wildlife species!
