这是一位在美国取得兽医执照的外国兽医考取执照的经历。文中所说的CPE, BCSE 都是属于ECFVG这个考试的一部分。所谓ECFVG即 “Educational Commission for Foreign Veterinary Graduates” 此考试用于证明你与 AVMA-ACCREDITED vet school 毕业的DVM学生具有相同的兽医知识及技术水平。共分为四步，详细请参阅https://www.avma.org/Professiona ... /Pages/default.aspx
在完成第三部后，你就可以有资格报名NAVLE，即兽医执照，最后通过CPE即临床技能考试就可以正式在美国行医。
DVM? 你也许并不需要

Yesterday I got my results for the last exam "CPE". I'm happy to say " I DID IT "
I got my certificate. Now what?? I've to think about that. BUT for all of you who just started or half way there. I want to give you and idea about me and where I was and how I did it. I hope this help.

I came to the U.S in 2001 and CAN NOT make a one single English sentience, so my English was bad, really bad. The reason for that is I learned the vet medicine in different language and all what we had for English is one small class a year. I'm telling you this to give you an Idea that nothing is impossible. You may not be good enough now but you will be if you want too.
I'm not the smartest guy ever, I'm positive most of you guys are smarter than me, so if I did it then you can.

When I first came to the states I start working with animals. I was cleaning stalls and taking care of lots of animals in Animal Sanctuaries, which was as good as it gets for some one has a vet license from outside the U.S and hardly speaks English. So for you who are out there and asking about what to do while trying to get a vet license? Do one thing. Work with animals. Anywhere, clinics, sanctuary, even dairy farms. This is important to stay in touch with what you have learned also give you a good access to vets who come and treat this animals, and you learn a lot.
Best job you can get is vet assistant. This will include cleaning kennels and doing dirty things but it will give you a great access to medicine and you learn a lot as you are earning money for living. If you think you can't do the vet license soon. Get the vet technician license; this gives better chance for hands on experience. All what you need for that is pass the national veterinary technician licensing exam. Which is as easy as the BCSE? 200 computer questions with multi answer system.

So in 2003 I start studying for the veterinary technician exam. It was the hardest thing ever trying to open the dictionary and translate every other word. but in 6 months I was able to pass the exam and become licensed veterinary technician. This was a great step because now I can go and work in a vet hospital earn more money and learn lots of things everyday. and I did. I was very lucky to work with a surgical clinic with great board certified surgeons.

I recommend specialty clinics, like surgery or emergency, these clinics will teach you the most and the best.

In August 2006 I decided that it's time. I started my vet license program. Starting with TOEFL, BCSE, NAVLE and then CPE. So almost 2 years later It was over. this journey was very stressful it gave me a gift along the way. it was a stomach ulcer. now that I'm no longer have to stress I hope it will finally heal.

So, doctors, don't give up or underestimate your selves. if you were able to get a vet degree from elsewhere then you can do it in the U.S. if I did it then trust me anyone of you can.

Unfortunately I can't discuss anything about the CPE exam. just one note. Follow the manual. and don't hurry. You will get it 5-6 months before you can do the test so you will have a lot of time to go through it. Just concentrate on the steps one by one.
Also go out and find equine and bovine vets and work with them, give them a free hand just to learn, even in the weekends. The last 6 month I was working full time job as a technician 4 days a week 10 hours a day and I was working for free with equine vets and bovine vets for 2 full day a week and had only one day to study. So I had no life. But this is the way to do it, for the CPE you have to get first hand experience with small and large animals. This give you an idea how much time I was able to use for studying, the things you learn when you are working are the things you will remember in the exams especially the CPE.

I recommend that you join the yahoo CPE Group. There are tons of materials and great people who can give you advices and references to study from. This goes for NAVLE and CPE candidates here is the link.

I will be checking the Forum and help as much as I can. Please no private messages, I will answer questions in the forum for every one to read.

Good luck every one, YOU CAN DO IT.
