Veterinary Specialization in Europe

The development of veterinary specialization in Europe is described, from its inception in 1989, through the establishment of the European Board for Veterinary Specialisation (EBVS) in 1996, to the establishment of the supervising European Coordinating Committee for Veterinary Training (ECCVT) in 2005. Currently there are about 1,500 European veterinary specialists in 21 different disciplines, which can be organ, species or discipline oriented. Each specialization is supervised by a college. Each college has representatives on the EBVS, which defines the rules, oversees procedures within the colleges, and deals with appeal procedures. The ECCVT, which consists of representatives from the European Association of Establishments for Veterinary Education (EAEVE), the Federation of Veterinarians in Europe (FVE), and the EBVS, is the supervising body that can approve procedures for the recognition of European veterinary specialists and acts as a liaison between the veterinary profession and relevant European and international bodies with respect to matters relating to post-graduate education.
