The EBVS regulations and the EVPC Constitution demand that, in order to continue their status of European Veterinary Specialist in Parasitology, all diplomats must be re-evaluated every 5th year. The purpose of the re-certification is to reassure the public that all European veterinary specialists have and maintain the required level of expertise and knowledge.
Diplomates that fail to accumulate the mandatory points within the 5 year period, or that fail to meet the other conditions of membership, will lose their registration as a European veterinary specialist and will become a Non-Certified EVPC diplomate. This will come into effect 12 months after notification.
Diplomates will be sent full instructions together with a re-certification form at least 3 months prior to the 5th anniversary of their date of admittance into the EVPC (as stated on their letter of admittance). The re-certification template is available under the members area at the re-certification section.
