Who Is a Board Certified Veterinary Cardiologist?
A board-certified veterinary cardiologist focuses on treating and diagnosing diseases of the lungs, circulatory system, respiratory system, and heart. Animal cardiologists complete the regular four years of veterinary school, but their education continues with longer internships and a specialized residency. They also must pass rigorous examinations to become board certified in their field.In the U.S., there are fewer than 300 board-certified veterinary cardiologists. Fortunately, Dr. Fred Brewer at the Bloomfield Animal Hospital serving residents in Southern California is one of them.
