Course Description

In addition to detailed proceedings notes, the course includes an electronic version of 300+ practice exam items that the participants may utilize at their leisure to test themselves on the material covered, whether during the course week or at home in the lead-up to the Exam. This is truly the industry’s most intensive and best-valued ABVP Prep Course and comprehensive systems and disease review, especially given its volume, intensity and inclusion of course materials, lodging and meals. Take your canine/feline skills to the max in preparation for the ABVP Exam, or just because you wish to excel as the most superior clinician you can be.
