Mandate of the National Examining Board

The National Examining Board (NEB) is a duly constituted board of the CVMA. The NEB operates in all matters pertaining to the administration of the National Examining Board Examination. The NEB makes recommendations to CVMA Council on all other matters involving the assessment and enhancement of veterinarians in Canada and undertakes any other duties assigned by Council from time to time.

A Registrar of the NEB is appointed by the Council and serves as the CVMA staff officer charged with the responsibility of co-ordinating and facilitating the duties and functions of the NEB.

Please refer to the document entitled Veterinary Licensing Examinations for a summary of the NEB exam process and an order form for the NEB application package. The document is an Adobe Reader .pdf file that will open in a separate window.
