Veterinary Accreditation Update

September 29, 2010 — 

Due to the tremendous response to the recent changes in the veterinary accreditation program, USDA indicates that the processing of all the applications may take until May 2011. If you have already submitted your application, USDA requests that you do not call to check on the status of your application or submit additional applications. The agency assures us that your accreditation will not expire during the application approval process.

If you have not submitted the VS Form 1-36A to apply for accreditation or to retain your current accreditation under the updated National Veterinary Accreditation Program (NVAP) there is still time to do so. Information on the application process is available on the USDA's NVAP website.
