Specialist Veterinary Jobs
Specialist vet surgeons choose to concentrate on one of the thirty plus veterinary disciplines and are the equivalent of a medical consultant.
There are several specialisms including veterinary anesthesiologists, opthamologists, pathologists and radiologists, with these types of roles usually found in larger veterinary practices.
A specialist vet could focus on treating anything from pets, farm animals or horses, to wildlife and animals in captivity. Specialist disciplines include diagnostic imaging, pathology, anaesthesia, small animal surgery and animal behaviour offering vets the opportunity to become experts in their field.
To become a specialist veterinarian, a vet is usually required to undertake additional training once they’ve qualified and gained a degree.
