ICVA encourages its staff, volunteers, stakeholders, and directors to view, evaluate, and treat all persons in any professional activity or circumstance in which they may be involved, solely as individuals on the basis of their own personal abilities, qualifications, and other relevant characteristics.
ICVA confronts and addresses all forms of prejudice and discrimination by its staff, volunteers, stakeholders, and directors that have led to misunderstanding, hostility and injustice in the work of the ICVA. These include, but are not limited to, those based on race, ethnicity, gender, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, parental status, religious beliefs, military or veteran status, political beliefs, geographic, socioeconomic, and educational background and any other characteristic protected under applicable federal, state, provincial or territorial law.
*ICVA works with the National Board of Medical Examiners (NBME) to score the exam and create and distribute the score report.
