A prospective candidate must be a graduate of, or a final year student at, an AVMA listed veterinary school to be eligible for enrollment in the program.

Step 2 — Assess your English language ability.

Non-native English speaking candidates must successfully complete one of three standard English language assessments accepted by the ECFVG. This examination may be completed before enrolling into the program, but the ECFVG does require an original score report from the testing agency, and the testing agencies retain scores for only two years from the test date. Native English speakers may request that the examination requirement be waived by submitting appropriate documentation of English proficiency in accordance with ECFVG policy.

Step 3 — Assess your basic and clinical veterinary science knowledge.

Candidates must successfully complete the ECFVG-specific Basic and Clinical Sciences Examination (BCSE), which is a 225-question, multiple-choice, computer-based assessment of basic and clinical veterinary sciences knowledge. The ECFVG office will notify candidates of their eligibility to apply for the BCSE only after candidates complete Step 2. Click on the "Step 3" image to the left for more information.

Step 4 — Assess your hands-on clinical veterinary medical skills.

Candidates must successfully complete the Clinical Proficiency Examination (CPE) to complete the program and achieve certification. The CPE is a multi-day, multi-section postgraduate assessment of hands-on clinical veterinary medical skills covering entry-level skills in both large and small animal species, as well as laboratory and other diagnostic practices. The ECFVG office will notify candidates of their eligibility to apply for the CPE only after candidates complete Steps 2 and 3. Click on the "Step 4" image to the left for more information.
