Level and Prerequisites:
This

VIN CE Course:
Open to senior veterinary students and veterinarians preparing for the
North American Veterinary Licensing Exam (NAVLE®).
This course does not qualify for AAVSB RACE approval.
Course Description:
Organized by species, each real-time session will highlight the "Top 20" diseases
and conditions encountered by practitioners in the U.S. and Canada.
All real-time sessions will include multiple-choice questions similar to those
that candidates will encounter on the NAVLE®.
The questions will lead to a brief discussion and summary of each condition
in a distilled format.
We will cover NAVLE® study plans and exam strategies and provide strategies
for reviewing topics not covered in the "Top 20s."
The last session will include a mock examination.
This course consists of seven (7) 2 hour Real Time Sessions,
supplemental library materials, and interactive message board discussions.
Upon completion of this course, the participant will have received
- guidance on NAVLE® preparation, test-taking strategies,
and best study materials.
- a weekly live review covering a wide selection of NAVLE®-style material.
- the opportunity to interact with other NAVLE® candidates and
professors in class and on the message boards.
- weekly practice in answering one-best-answer multiple choice questions
in a timed format.
- access to boarded clinicians for expert real-time assistance.
Course Materials: Course materials will be available
in the course library prior to each Real Time Session.

** NOTE: The instructors provide
a lot of excellent material and do their best to answer participant questions in the
time allotted. Sometimes a session can run overtime by 15 to 30 minutes because of
the number of participant questions posted. Participants are not required to stay
late when the session runs overtime but it is in their best interests to do so.
A transcript of the Real Time Session, including any session overtime, will be
available in the course library the following day. Participants can use the
transcript to review any portion of the class that they may have missed.
Enrollment will be limited to 450 registrants. This class may fill quickly;
students and veterinarians interested in the structured active learning
provided through Real Time Sessions and message boards should register now
to ensure a "seat" in class. Please enroll only if planning on attending
all real-time sessions and fully participating in the course.
*To ensure participants are ready and prepared for classes, enrollment will close when
the maximum number of participants is reached or at 5pm ET the day of the first
Real Time Session unless otherwise noted. If the first Real Time Session is on a
weekend, course enrollment will close on the Friday before the first Real Time Session.
