If you are pursuing licensure in a state that does not accept PAVE, we encourage you to be proactive in contacting your state veterinary board to inquire on the current PAVE status. Below is a one-page information sheet which highlights the most important aspects of the PAVE Program. You may use this sheet to accompany a letter to the board members, or as talking points if you choose to attend a board meeting.
