European College of Veterinary Internal Medicine (ECVIM)
The European College of Veterinary Internal Medicine (ECVIM) is a professional organization that certifies specialized veterinarians, called diplomates, who focus on diagnosing and treating internal health issues in animals, mainly pets like dogs and cats. They ensure these specialists have advanced knowledge in areas such as cardiology, neurology, and gastroenterology, helping improve animal health through expert care, research, and continued education. The ECVIM promotes high standards in veterinary specialty practice across Europe and collaborates internationally to advance internal medicine for companion animals.
