ACVS Fellowship in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
A founding fellow in oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS) is a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Surgeons (ACVS) who has obtained additional training and experience in OMFS beyond surgery residency training; demonstrates expertise in OMFS; and devotes a major portion of their professional effort to research and to the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of OMFS patients.
ACVS Fellowship Training Centers
ACVS-approved fellowship training centers provide specialized training in OMFS. The training program is designed for ACVS Diplomates and veterinarians who have completed a residency at an ACVS Registered Residency Training Program. Both the fellow candidate who is pursuing training in OMFS and the training institution must comply with the Minimum Standards for ACVS Fellowship Training Program in OMFS (Small Animal). Fellow candidates must submit the training registration form and registration fee to the ACVS office within 30 days of starting the fellowship training program. Contact the program representative for information about the fellowship training centers.
