Join us for a two-day course designed to help candidates that are preparing to take the Clinical Proficiency Examination (CPE) by the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) Educational Commission for Foreign Veterinary Graduates (ECFVG) and the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association (CVMA) National Examining Board (NEB).
Additionally, veterinarians and veterinary technicians looking to improve their necropsy techniques will find benefit from this training.
Spend 2 days with Dr. De Negri and Dr. Helgert, learning necropsy techniques and practicing for your exam!
(Although we believe that the in-person instruction, hands-on practice, and mock exam will provide superior preparation for the CPE exam, we are providing a remote option, including an interactive necropsy technique demonstration for those who cannot attend in person.)
