AAHA Accredited
The American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) is a non-profit group that helps vets in the US and Canada get certified.

Among them are standards for hospital safety; patient care; diagnostics; pain management; contagious disease management; continuing education; dentistry; emergency/urgent care; and many other things.
