#138: Veterinary Specialisation Without The Residency: The ’Scenic Route’ You Didn’t Know Existed. With Dr Matt Booth (Part 2)
Description
“Did you know the AVMA doesn’t actually require a residency to become a specialist?”
Yeah, neither did we—until Dr. Matt Booth dropped that fact-bomb.
And it’s bigger than just an interesting fact - it’s a mindset shift that cracks the door wide open to alternative routes to specialisation—for veterinarrians who want to grow their careers, but can’t jump through the hoops of the traditional residency pathway.
So, if you are:
- Ambitious, but feeling a bit stuck
- Limited by the realities of life outside the clinic
- Or just curious about your options in veterinary medicine
This one’s for you.
Join us for part 2 of our conversation with Dr. Matt Booth—former ER practice owner and ER practice development lead at Ethos Veterinary Health—as we rethink what’s possible in the future of specialisation.
