Dr Zoltan Szabo
DVM, Dipl.ACZM, Dipl.ABVP(Avian), Dipl.ABVP(RA), Dipl.ABVP(ECM), GpCert(ExAP), FRCVS
Director of Exotic Animal Services at Concordia Pet Care (Asia's premier exotic hospital)
With 25 years of experience in exotic animal medicine, Dr. Gyarmathy has dedicated his career to advancing the field and mentoring the next generation of exotic medicine specialists. A published author, Adjunct Professor at City University of Hong Kong, and RCVS Fellow (2025) for Meritorious Contributions to Clinical Practice, his passion for education has led him to create this comprehensive learning platform.
After seeing how many vets worldwide can't regularly attend the big exotic conferences, and knowing firsthand as a book author how quickly textbook material can become outdated, Dr. Gyarmathy set out to build something better — a living, breathing resource that evolves with the field.
With 40+ peer-reviewed publications and having trained countless veterinary professionals, he brings a unique blend of clinical expertise and teaching excellence to the Academy.
"My goal was to create something that makes knowledge sharing faster, easier, and much more accessible for any vet, anywhere in the world."
What our members say
Real reviews from veterinary professionals inside the Exotic Veterinary Academy.
I've been working with exotic pets for over 20 years, and joining the Exotic Vet Academy has been one of the best decisions in my professional journey. If you're serious about growing in your exotic animal career, I absolutely recommend it.
@dr.aoy · President of Thailand Exotic Pet Veterinary Association
Everything described in the program is doable, accessible at any time and the level of difficulty increases with each lecture. I am already an experienced veterinarian, but for me this is a great opportunity to fill in the missing puzzles in my knowledge, learn new things, analyze clinical cases and improve my knowledge.
@chipolina_vet · Exotic Veterinarian
Ever since I joined the Academy, it's become part of my daily routine. I love checking in to see what cool and unusual cases Dr Zoltan and other members are sharing. There's always something new to learn, but the information comes in small amounts so never feels overwhelming. Lectures are packed with useful information and are helping me feel even more confident about approaching exotic cases. And just knowing there's telemedicine support available if I'm ever unsure about a case is really reassuring.
@vetventures2.0 · Cambridge Grad Vet Surgeon
The Exotic Vet Academy is amazing! Dr Zoltan is passionate and knowledgeable, and the atmosphere is always welcoming and inspiring. The courses are clear, engaging and packed with valuable knowledge. Highly recommended, independent of your level of expertise. If you don't join, you're definitely missing out!
@ssanatana · Exotic / Wildlife veterinarian
The Exotic Vet Academy has been a great resource to improve my knowledge and confidence in exotic animal medicine. I especially value the chance to discuss real-life complex cases and hear different opinions. Dr. Zoltan's expertise and clear teaching style make even difficult topics easy to follow.
@nazliaykol · PhD Candidate in Veterinary Surgery
As a pre-vet student passionate about exotics, joining the Exotic Vet Academy has been an excellent decision. Dr. Zoltan explains complex topics clearly and keeps sessions engaging. The live lectures and case studies have given me a strong foundation in exotic medicine. The supportive community of students, techs, and vets is a real highlight. Highly recommended for anyone interested in this field!
@futurevetchristina · Pre-veterinary student
It's been four months since I joined the Exotic Vet Academy, and the experience has been truly enriching. As an exotic animal veterinarian in India, being part of a global community of experts has expanded my knowledge through case discussions and interactive lectures. The collaborative learning environment makes it more than just a course, it's a continuous journey of growth.
@dr.nehashah · Founder of @exoandaquavet
Thank you very much to Dr. Zoltan for the exotic vet academy! The weekly webinars are of great value. You will always find answers to challenging daily cases in the academy too. This course really aims at training future specialists in the field of exotic medicine. I couldn't recommend it more!
@wild_vet_adventures · Wildlife veterinarian
The Exotic Vet Academy is fantastic for my further learning! The weekly webinars have all been very informative, and I'm finding the case discussion particularly helpful. If you're new to exotics and want to learn more, or see a lot of exotics but would benefit from extra support with complex cases — then I would recommend the Exotic Vet Academy to you!
@the_rabbitandrodent_vet · Rabbit and rodent veterinarian
As a DACVECC and lifelong learner, I'm thoroughly impressed with the Academy. What makes this platform exceptional is its global community and the clinical depth brought to each topic. The lectures are led by an international expert in exotic animal practice, and the case discussions, tough case consults, and up-to-date journal club reviews are second to none. If you're interested in exotics or emergency practice I strongly recommend it.
@snapchatvet · Dipl. ACVECC · Co-Founder VEST
I would like to say a huge thank you to Dr. Zoltan for the opportunity to become a student of the Exotic Veterinary Academy! Dr. Zoltan answers all our questions and shares his incredible experience in the form of lectures, cases, and videos of surgeries! At the academy, there is an opportunity to share your cases and ask for his opinion regarding diagnosis and treatment!
@darya_vet_ultrasound · Veterinary ultrasonographer
Before discovering the Exotic Veterinary Academy, seeing exotic patients felt overwhelming, and reliable resources were hard to come by. Now, I feel so much more confident and efficient; better able to diagnose, treat, and support both my clients and their unique pets. Thank you for what you've created, Dr. Zoltan. It's truly elevated my practice!
@thehonestvet · GP + ER Vet
I highly recommend Exotic Veterinary Academy to any veterinary professional with an interest in exotic animal medicine. As someone working with exotic pets I've found the platform incredibly helpful and enriching. It offers high-quality resources including lectures, case studies, videos, clinical discussion forums and a lot more. The only thing I regret is not joining sooner — this is a game changer.
