To address the limited availability of AiCVD diplomates in many Asian countries, AiCVD offers a Residency-Exempt Diplomate Application Pathway for experienced veterinarians actively engaged in dermatology.

Eligible candidates who meet the required criteria may apply to sit for the AiCVD board examination without completing a formal residency. Applications will be reviewed by the AiCVD Education and Credentials Committee.

Application Period: February 2026 – January 2031
