AVBC has released its new Day One Competencies (D1Cs) for veterinary graduates, which come into effect on 1 January 2024. The competencies will help ensure that veterinary graduates in Australia and New Zealand have the knowledge, skills, and abilities needed for their professional careers and continued career development.
Applications for the 2023 MCQ have now closed. The next available sitting of the Preliminary (MCQ) Examination will be in 2024, likely in April.
The role will support AVBC’s Veterinary Schools Accreditation Advisory Committee (VSAAC). VSAAC advises on all matters relating to the accreditation of veterinary schools.
AVBC’s Australasian Veterinary Examination Committee confirmed the record number of 43 successful AVE candidates in 2022 – doubling the previous record of 21 in 2021.
The next sitting of the Preliminary (MCQ) Examination will be on Friday 21 April 2023. AVE Final (Clinical) Examinations are scheduled for 29 May – 2 June 2023 and 3 July – 7 July 2023.
The AVBC office is closed from 5pm Thursday 22 December 2022, re-opening 9am Tuesday 3 January 2023.
