VMBA Purpose |
|

Certification of Competency |
|
The VBMA seeks to provide animal owners, farmers, and
veterinarians with some standard of competency by which
to choose a veterinary herbalist. For certification by
VBMA, the herbalist must pass a competency examination
with a grade of 75%. In addition, the herbalist must
submit and have accepted 3 case reports that are
publication quality. Veterinarians certified by VBMA
will earn the title "Certified Veterinary Herbalist".
Non-veterinary herbalists will earn the title "Certified
Veterinary Herbalism Educator". |
