Practicing in the USA

University College Dublin is fully accredited by the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA).

All veterinarians must write the North American Veterinary Licensing Examination (NAVLE) to be eligible for licensing. The examination is a computer-based multiple-choice test. NAVLE exams are offered yearly in December and April and are written by students during the final year of academic study.

In many states, veterinarians are also required to write a state exam covering the laws of veterinary medicine specific to that state, before commencing practice.
