All veterinarians must successfully complete both national and state application requirements and exams in order to be licensed to practice veterinary medicine.
All 4th year (senior) students in the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, can take the North American Licensing Examination (NAVLE). The exam is offered during a fall testing window usually in November/December, and also in the spring usually in April. There is a fee associated with this exam. For complete information regarding the NAVLE, including testing dates, please visit: https://www.icva.net/
If you were approved for the NAVLE through the Wisconsin board, ICVA will send you an email regarding this WI state exam information, and you will be invited to register and pay to take the exam. Visit the ICVA website for instructions.
