Candidate Registration
Candidate Registration
Once in an approved residency program, residents must submit the ACVIM Candidate Registration Form AND a Candidate Fee Remittance Form within 90 days of beginning their residency training program (e.g., by October 1 for programs beginning on July 1). The purpose of registration is to ensure that a candidate embarks on a training program that conforms to the requirements of the specialty in which he or she wishes to become certified. Failure to register, or registration after the 90-day deadline, may jeopardize the resident's certification process, as some of the training program may not be recognized or accepted.
All candidates are reminded that if you wish to receive confirmation that your packet has arrived, it is your responsibility to provide for confirmation (eg, guaranteed delivery with tracking number, overnight service with tracking number, etc.) Please be sure to keep all receipts for guaranteed delivery in the event your package does not arrive as scheduled. ACVIM is not responsible for late, lost or misdirected mail, and we will not accept materials after the deadline for any reason without proof of guaranteed delivery.
