October has arrived, bringing cooler weather, changing leaves across much of the country, and, of course, Halloween. Before long, neighborhoods will be filled with costumes, porch lights, and trick-or-treaters making their rounds in search of something sweet. It is one of those times of year that reminds us how quickly the calendar moves.
DEIW Update
In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, the DEIW Committee highlights the importance of overcoming language barriers in veterinary medicine.

Journal Clubs Have a New Home!If you’ve gone looking for Journal Clubs on the ABVP website lately and come up empty, don’t worry, they haven’t disappeared. Journal Clubs have moved to the new ABVP Learning Center at learn.abvp.com and are no longer available on ABVP’s main website. |
Maintenance of Certification
Continuing the praise for our MOC Committee volunteers, next in the alphabet is the Beef, Dairy, and Food Animal MOC herd! Dan Posey is the combined Beef, Dairy, and Food Animal MOC Vice Chair and reviews every application that stampedes his way, as well as coming up with great Journal Club articles. THANK YOU, Dr. Posey!
The committee would appreciate you sharing feedback on this brief, 90 second, Journal Club survey!

2027 Credentials Applications Are Now Open!
ABVP’s credentials applications are now open for the January 15, 2027 deadline. If you or a colleague have been thinking about pursuing ABVP certification, now is the time to get started!
One important note: if you (or someone you know) started an application a while back and never finished it, that application has been closed, or it should have been. We made several changes to the application for the 2027 cycle, and applications opened before now don’t include those updates. To make sure your application is complete and up to date, please start a new one for the 2027 deadline.

If you are a newer Diplomate and interested in presenting, please email vinrounds@abvp.com. Each lecture is about 50 minutes long and you will need to keep an eye on your lecture's message board after the lecture for a couple of weeks. VIN will pay you for your lecture. ABVP® will help you with your lecture by assigning you a mentor, if you would like.
