Do veterinarians have to pass a test obtain license?

Yes. All 50 states in the United States require that veterinarians pass the North American Veterinary Licensing Examination (NAVLE) in order to obtain a license to practice veterinary medicine. The NAVLE is a comprehensive examination that covers a wide range of topics, including anatomy, physiology, pathology, pharmacology, and clinical medicine. In order to pass the NAVLE, veterinarians must have a strong foundation in the basic sciences as well as a thorough understanding of clinical veterinary medicine.
