How to Become a Resident

An ECVPT Residency Programme is a training programme that has been approved by the Education and Residency Committee (E&RC) allowing a graduate veterinarian (the Resident) to acquire in-depth knowledge of veterinary pharmacology and toxicology and its supporting disciplines under the supervision and guidance of one or more Diplomate(s) of the ECVPT.

Two types of Residency Programmes can be carried out: a Standard Residency Programme or an Alternative Residency Programme (see below).

To be admitted to carry out a Residency Programme, prospective residents will be required to have broad training and experience in veterinary pharmacology and toxicology and their supporting disciplines, which must be attained by participation in a one-year Internship, or its equivalent, as approved by the Education and Residency Committee (E&RC).

A complete list of requirements for residencies can be found in the Residency Training Brochure.
