The Program for the Assessment of Veterinary Education Equivalence

The Program for the Assessment of Veterinary Education Equivalence (PAVE) is a pathway for veterinarians who are graduates of non-accredited and international veterinary programs to practice in the United States. Among other things, one requirement of the PAVE program is to complete an evaluated clinical experience at an AVMA-accredited veterinary college. The Department of Veterinary Clinical Sciences is happy to offer this one-year experience. 

PAVE candidates will be reviewed for acceptance in two annual cycles. Deadlines for each cycle are as follows.
