ECFVG Program
What is it?
The Educational Commission for Foreign Veterinary Graduates (ECFVG) program is a certification program administered by the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) that assesses the educational and clinical readiness of graduates from non-accredited veterinary schools for licensure or employment in the United States.
Purpose
The primary goal of the ECFVG is to evaluate the professional competence of graduates from non-AVMA accredited veterinary schools.
Recognition
The ECFVG certification is widely accepted by state veterinary licensing boards and the U.S. federal government as fulfilling the educational requirements for licensure or certain types of employment.
Program Steps:
The ECFVG program involves a multi-step process:
- Enrollment: Veterinary graduates or final-year students from ECFVG-listed schools can enroll in the program.
- English Language Proficiency: Candidates must demonstrate proficiency in English, often through standardized tests like TOEFL.
- Basic and Clinical Sciences Examination (BCSE): This step assesses the candidate's knowledge of veterinary science through a computer-based exam.
- Clinical Proficiency Examination (CPE): The final step involves a practical, hands-on exam evaluating clinical skills in various areas of veterinary medicine.
Equivalency
The ECFVG ensures that foreign-trained veterinarians have met the necessary educational benchmarks to practice in the U.S., bridging the gap between their education and the standards of AVMA-accredited programs.
