Once you graduate with your veterinary medicine degree, you would go into an internship focusing on equine medicine or equine surgery (or split between both). After completing the one year internship, you would then apply for a three year residency in equine medicine or equine surgery (you do have to pick one). Once you complete your residency, you then sit for the board certification exam. If you pass, you become a board-certified equine veterinarian.
