This month Dr. Lennox was awarded another exotic animal specialty title, from the European College of Zoological Medicine, in the category Small Mammals. This is Dr. Lennox's third exotic animal medicine specialty degree. Similar to the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners (ABVP), this specialty focuses on improving the quality of exotic animal medicine and surgery:
"The European College of Zoological Medicine was established to make further progress in research and practice to benefit health and well-being of free-ranging and captive non-domesticated animals. The ECZM invests efforts to establish and maintain high standards of training that will lead to recognition as European Veterinary Specialist in Zoological Medicine. Certification increases prestige of the profession and results in more competent zoological veterinary medicine service to associated institutions and public parties/entities. "
