Swine Health ManagementThe American Board of Veterinary Practitioners is accredited by the American Veterinary Medical Association to provide board certifications in ten species categories, including Swine Health Management (SHM). Veterinarians who certify in this category become ABVP-boarded Diplomates, certified in Swine Health Management. Those interested in SHM certification should be aware that it has special requirements in addition to the traditional certification process of ABVP’s other practice categories.

Whether you are considering or actively pursuing ABVP certification in Swine Health Management, the following documents will help explain the application and exam process. The Applicant Handbook in particular provides a wealth of information. It is ABVP’s official guide to assisting veterinarians with board certification. However, also be sure to review the Swine Health Management Certification Process document, as it provides a clear description of how the SHM process differs from that of other practice categories. Additional resources are also available in the Certification section of the website.
