Zoological medicine refers to the subspecialty of veterinary medicine that addresses the care of captive zoo animals, free ranging wildlife species, aquatic animals, birds, reptiles and amphibians, and non domestic companion animals. Zoological medicine incorporates principles of ecology, wildlife conservation, and veterinary medicine, and applies them to wild animals in natural and artificial environments. As a subspecialty of veterinary medicine in the United States, the American Veterinary Medical Association AVMA has recognized the College of Zoological Medicine as the governing body of this specialty field since 1983. As such, zoological medicine is equivalent to other subspecialties of veterinary medicine such as Veterinary surgery surgery , Veterinary anesthesia anesthesia , internal medicine, Veterinary pathologist pathology , etc , which are recognized and governed by their particular colleges. The American College of Zoological Medicine ACZM is an international organization composed of 97 members as of September 2006 , which recognizes, establishes and regulates standards and criteria necessary for veterinarians to be true specialists in zoological medicine. The board certification in zoological medicine encompasses expertise in general captive zoo medicine, aquatic animal medicine, avian medicine, reptile and amphibian medicine, and free ranging wildlife medicine. A specialist in zoological medicine recognized by the College of Zoological Medicine is called a diplomate . Board certified diplomates of the ACZM serve as zoo veterinarians, zoo managers, wildlife veterinarians, wildlife conservation agents, researchers, teachers, government officials, and other similar leadership roles.
