VHMA is excited to offer a unique Test Preparation Study Program that is tailored to managers pursuing CVPM certification, as well as those interested in career advancement and refining and expanding their skills.
 
The Test Preparation Study Program supports learning through an organized and facilitated study group. The program is indispensable to veterinary practice managers preparing for the CVPM examination, new managers looking for a comprehensive introduction to management concepts, as well as experienced managers interested in a thorough review and update of management principles.

The program covers the five essential management domains identified by the CVPM program:  Human Resources, Law and Ethics, Marketing, Organization of the Practice and Finance. The program outline, content and assignments are developed directly from the CVPM Task Analysis Outline and Recommended Reading List.

The course emphasizes general veterinary management concepts and content common to both U.S. and Canadian practices, which is essential to build a strong foundation and in-depth understanding of management principles. Please note that while only U.S. federal law is addressed in the course, the CVPM Preparation Workbook does provide a list of Canadian federal laws that Canadian managers should be aware of. The CVPM program offers U.S. and Canadian applicable examination forms.
