The European College of Equine Internal Medicine (ECEIM) aims to advance equine internal medicine in Europe and increase the competency of those who practice in this field.

The ECEIM was established in 2000 and became a fully recognised member of the European Board of Veterinary Specialisation (EBVS) in 2010. The EBVS was set up to encourage, recognise and monitor veterinary specialty colleges such as the ECEIM.
