What is a Criticalist?

A Criticalist is a veterinary specialist in emergency and critical care who is dedicated to treating life-threatening conditions. To become a criticalist, significant, additional training is required. They must first be a graduate of a recognized veterinary school, then complete a minimum of 3 additional years of intense training in emergency, surgery, and critical care through completion of an American College of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care (ACVECC)-approved training program. This program is referred to as a “residency” in emergency and critical care and focuses on up-to-date techniques for diagnosis and treatment of life-threatening disease processes in an emergency and for the critical time while the animal is recovering. Upon completion, the doctor must also pass extraordinarily difficult exams and have an original research paper published in a peer-reviewed journal.

There are very few veterinary criticalists in the world and we are honored to have Dr. Nobles as an integral member of The COVE family.
