For International Students:
The educational prerequisite for veterinary licensure in most states and for certain federal positions includes graduation from a veterinary school accredited by the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) Council on Education. For graduates of foreign, non-accredited schools, most states require successful completion of an educational equivalency assessment certification program—the ECFVG.
ECFVG helps bridge the gap between the dream for some veterinarians of licensure in the United States, and the reality of achieving the American Dream.
For over 40 years, the Educational Commission for Foreign Veterinary Graduates (ECFVG) has helped state veterinary boards and other entities nationwide assess the educational readiness of graduates of non-accredited veterinary schools for licensure or employment.

The year spent learning to balance case care and horse owners serves as a springboard when it becomes time to further a career in veterinary medicine.
Areas of responsibility are divided into rotations: surgery, hospital, emergency, and field service. Through the close relationship with staff doctors, the interns develop skills in patient diagnosis, treatment, and communication with the clients and referring veterinarians. Over 60 applicants apply annually for four available internship positions.
Surgery Rotation
Offers a close working relationship with the surgeon diagnosis, patient’s hospitalization care and assisting the clinician for hands on experience.
Hospital Rotation
Highlights intensive management of post operative colic cases and medical colics as well as internal medicine cases and neonatal care. Interns are responsible for creating diagnostic and treatment plans and evaluating those plans.
Emergency Rotation
After training with staff doctors, interns are responsible for primary emergency services including field, hospital and referral cases.
Field Service Rotation
As a mobile practitioner, the responsibilities range from preventative medicine to emergency care. Included in this rotation is hands-on mentorship with a staff doctor.
