Our Services
Veterinarians
VIVA is a centralized depository for veterinarians' credentials and a source of verified data for Boards to learn about licensed veterinarians. The VIVA database includes licensure and disciplinary information as well as national veterinary examination scores.
Veterinary Technicians
The Veterinary Technician National Examination (VTNE)is owned and administered by AAVSB. This computer-based examination is given during three windows each year. The VTNE is constantly updated, reviewed, and re-evaluated item by item so that it remains a valid tool useful in the evaluation of candidates for licensure.
Continuing Education
RACE is a national clearinghouse for the approval of continuing education providers and their programs. All RACE-approved providers and programs are listed on this website. Providers voluntarily apply to the RACE program and agree to abide by the RACE Standards. AAVSB does not solicit participation in the RACE program.
International Graduates
PAVE was designed to evaluate the education equivalence of foreign veterinary graduates (graduates of non-accredited veterinary programs outside the US and Canada) on behalf of participating AAVSB Member Boards.
