Level and Prerequisites:
This

in an efficient and effective manner.

preparing for the North American Veterinary Licensing Exam (NAVLE®).
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 should be able to
- 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.
Required Textbook(s): There is no required textbook for this course.

preparing for the NAVLE®. In collaboration with Dr. Steve McLaughlin

** 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;

provided through Real Time Sessions and message boards should register now
to ensure a "seat" in class. Please enroll only if planning to attend
all Real Time Sessions and fully participate in the course.
