WHY START YOUR DVM IN JANUARY?
Trade your winter coat for a white coat. January can be an ideal time to start taking steps to pursue your passion for veterinary medicine!
GET A HEAD START
Starting in January allows you the opportunity to earn your DVM and be career-ready an entire year earlier than students who wait to start in the fall at U.S. AVMA-accredited schools. Yep, you read that right—you could be a practicing veterinarian a year before your peers.
Apply for January 2025
BETTER POSITIONING FOR INTERNSHIPS
Interested in pursuing a specialty? By starting in January 2025, you can be eligible to practice by May 2028—which is right before the time of year many specialty internships begin. This makes it the perfect time for securing an internship after graduation.
PREPARE FOR THE NAVLE
The North American Veterinary Licensing Examination® (NAVLE®) is administered each November. Starting in January 2025 positions you to begin your clinical training in May 2027. This means you’ll have a whole six months to prepare and accumulate real-world clinical experience before taking the NAVLE!
