2006 Residency Program Documentation

The ACVS Information Brochure contains information about membership requirements, credentials, residency programs, "Diplomate" use guidelines, and more.  Residents should consult the July 1, 2006 - June 30, 2007 ACVS Residency Program Requirements  for complete guidelines and requirements.

For Residents beginning programs between July 1, 2006 and June 30, 2007, all program data must be maintained using the current electronic ACVS Residency Program Documentation Worksheet files. A number of changes have been made to requirements that are not reflected in earlier versions of the files.

Residents must have access to Microsoft Excel in order to use these files. There are three versions, one for each Core Curriculum (i.e., LA-Equine, LA-General, Small Animal). All of the forms required for annual submission are contained in this Excel workbook file as individual worksheets. Annual submission of this Excel file will be required. The Excel file and Information Brochure will include detailed guidance for using this Excel file.
