Todd Prince, DVM, is an Illinois-based veterinarian with over 25 years of experience. He practices at four animal hospitals in Illinois, treating cats, dogs, and all manner of small companion animals. Dr. Todd Prince is a diplomate of the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners, certified in exotic companion mammal practice.
The American Board of Veterinary Practitioners awards exotic companion mammal practice certification to qualifying doctors who work with small animals including rabbits, ferrets, and hamsters. To become a diplomate, candidates require a minimum of six years of full-time practice experience with exotic small mammals. They should be routinely seeing ten or more of these cases a week to qualify. Candidates must also display continued high-level continuing education. Diplomates of the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners are expected to prepare reports and engage in professional scientific discourse. Most interested vets spend an hour a day or more studying textbooks and journal articles in preparation for their exam. Examinations for ECM and other recognized veterinary specialties are held just once annually. This comprehensive exam is very difficult, and requires up to date knowledge of medicine, surgery, nutrition, behavior, and wellness care. Comments are closed.
