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!
