ICVA has numerous opportunities for those wanting to volunteer:
ICVA is constantly in the process of developing and reviewing new test items and examination forms for each of our assessments. Volunteers from all parts of veterinary medicine are an integral part of ICVA’s efforts to provide world-class examinations and other assessment tools to protect the public, and animal health and welfare.
Subject matter experts in basic sciences, clinical sciences, academicians, veterinarians in clinical practice, and veterinarians working in areas outside of traditional clinical practice (such as public health, food safety, herd management, wildlife conservation, etc.) are all welcome to apply. If you are interested in learning more about volunteer opportunities with the NAVLE, VEA®, or Species Specific Examinations, please fill out the Subject Matter Expert Form.
We also send out calls for nominations for committees like the Assessment Development Committee (ADC) and the ICVA Board of Directors (BOD). This is a great opportunity for those interested in advancing the field of veterinary assessment. Those interested in learning more about these positions should contact Jeanne Blasewitz at jblasewitz@icva.net.
The AVAC works to identify existing assessment and measurement resources within academic veterinary medicine, identify areas of opportunity where the ICVA can support veterinary education, facilitate best practices for assessment across veterinary educational programs, provide granting opportunities in veterinary assessment to support best practices and the assessment research literature, and facilitate opportunities for assessment collaboration across veterinary academia.
If you are passionate about assessment and have an interest in joining like-minded individuals, the AVAC invites you to submit a brief letter of intent and CV to Jeanne Blasewitz (jblasewitz@icva.net) by December 6, 2024.
