AVMA LISTED VETERINARY COLLEGES OF THE WORLD

(Exclusive of the United States and Canada; as of 2/18/2010)

The AVMA Educational Commission for Foreign Veterinary Graduates (ECFVG) does not represent this to be a
comprehensive list of all veterinary schools in the world. The AVMA-listed Veterinary Schools of The World includes all
schools that were listed by the World Health Organization in its 1991 World Veterinary Directory and in the 1983 Pan
American Health Organization publication, Diagnosis of Animal Health in the Americas. The list also includes additional
schools that have come to the attention of the ECFVG for reasons related to the ECFVG certification program. Such schools
are listed here only after correspondence with the national government ensures that the school is officially recognized by that
government as a professional school of veterinary medicine and its graduates are qualified to practice veterinary medicine
within that country.

Graduates should only use the degree actually granted by their college or school of veterinary medicine. For instance, if a foreign college
grants a degree of Bachelor of Veterinary Science, a graduate would sign his/her name “John Doe or Mary Smith, BVSc,” and a Medico
Veterinario would sign, “John Doe or Mary Smith, MV.” Any individual whose degree is other than DVM or VMD should add the word
“veterinarian” under his/her signature and actual degree and should not replace their degree with DVM or VMD.
