COURSE DESCRIPTION
This is a seven-session course to help veterinary students and veterinarians prepare for the North American Veterinary Licensing Exam (NAVLE®).
Organized by species, each 2-hour session will highlight the "Top 20" diseases and conditions encountered by practitioners in the US and Canada. All 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.
Through the course, participants will get:
