This NAVLE Scheduling Permit website is scheduled for maintenance from Friday, April 19, 2024 06:00 PM to Friday, April 19, 2024 10:00 PM Eastern Time. To avoid an interruption in service, please do not log on to this site during these times.

The NAVLE is more than an exam – and it must be protected. Every day, veterinarians come to work ready to champion the health and welfare of our animals and to protect the public. These hard-working and passionate individuals regularly enter high-pressure circumstances with potentially life-saving consequences – and spend years diligently training in order to do so.

Congratulations to the 2023 ICVA Assessment Grant winner, Dr. Carolyn Legge, University of Calgary Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, for her proposal, “Does the gamification of reinforcement-based learning affect summative assessment performance? It’s a game of Cards.”

The ICVA grant program, overseen by the ICVA Academic Veterinary Assessment Committee (AVAC) on behalf of the ICVA Board of Directors, is pleased to announce the 2024 grant program with up to three grant award opportunities of $10,000 USD. The purpose of an ICVA assessment grant is to validate current, discover new, implement and support best practices in assessment in veterinary medical education. This includes assessment of students, instructors, and programs.

The ICVA is pleased to again present an interactive Webinar on three dates in March hosted by Dr. Elizabeth Johnson Million. This is for current veterinary students at any point of their education and veterinary graduates.

The ICVA has sent out a call for nominations for two at-large positions on the ICVA Board of Directors.

The ICVA has sent out a call for nominations for five open positions on the Assessment Development Committee (ADC). The open positions are for experts in the Bovine - Beef, Canine, Equine, Feline and Zoo/ Wildlife areas.

The application deadline for the April 1-26, 20204 NAVLE is February 1, 2024.

ICVA is excited to announce two new promotions within our organization.
