Certification

The American Board of Veterinary Practitioners advances the quality of veterinary medicine through certification of veterinarians who demonstrate excellence in species-oriented clinical practice. ABVP Diplomates have a common desire and willingness to deliver superior, comprehensive, multi-disciplinary veterinary service to the public.

ABVP is accredited by the American Veterinary Medical Association to offer species-based certification in following practice categories:

• Avian Practice
• Beef Cattle Practice
• Canine & Feline Practice
• Dairy Practice
• Equine Practice
• Exotic Companion Mammal
• Feline Practice

The credentialing and examination process necessary for certification in ABVP, while extremely rewarding, is also highly challenging.
