Here at Cave Vets we are now helping train specialists of the future after being approved to run our own small animal internal medicine veterinary residency programmes.

 

The go-ahead from the European College of Veterinary Internal Medicine (ECVIM) is a significant endorsement for us.

Both Sara and Lucy joined  Cave in 2019 with the aim of pursuing a medicine specialisation.

 

Cave’s clinical director Nele Van den Steen, an RCVS and European specialist Veterinary Specialistin internal medicine, said: “We are naturally very pleased to have achieved this milestone and are delighted to get started, with our first residents Sara and Lucy continuing their career development with us.

“So, this accreditation shows we have the integrity and the capacity to support the programme, which is a notable achievement and a ringing endorsement of our work here at Cave.”
