ABVP Residency

ABVP Residency

The ABVP offers over 50 different ABVP-approved residency programs in the United States and abroad for those interested in pursuing the residency pathway to certification. ABVP’s residency programs are not listed in the match program unless the institution or clinic chooses to do so on its own. If you are interested in any of our listed programs, please contact the program directly for details on application as each program is different.

An ABVP residency meets one requirement for admission after completion of an internship or at least one year of practice in the specialty area and devoting a minimum of two years specialty training in an ABVP approved residency program in the RVS.

The sequence to be used:

  1. A rotating internship or a minimum of one year of practice
  2. A two- or three-year ABVP approved residency training program in the RVS

The ABVP Residency Handbook has instruction and guidance for clinical practice disciplines in the species related areas.
