American Board of Veterinary Practitioners certifies three Diplomates
in Swine Health Management Practice
Nashville, Tennessee--Three veterinarians have been certified by the
American Board of Veterinary Practitioners (ABVP) in Swine Health Management
Practice after the December 1997 examinations. All Diplomates mastered a
rigorous and demanding application process and certification examination
in order to obtain Diplomate status. To qualify to sit for the extensive
2-day examination, a veterinarian must complete either a residence program
or 6 years of clinical veterinary practice. In addition, an application,
references, continuing education, and two publication-quality case reports
must pass review.
The ABVP was established in 1978 to recognize excellence in clinical
practice through the certification of species-oriented specialists. Approximately
575 veterinarians worldwide are certified in one of eight practice categories:
Canine and Feline, Food Animal, Equine, Dairy, Swine Health Management,
Avian, Beef Cattle, and Feline Practice.
The application deadline is January 15 with examinations administered
in November of the same year to those who qualify. Applications may by secured
