AVMA Accreditation!

Today the SVM gathered all students, faculty, and staff to announce that St. George's University School of Veterinary Medicine has officially been granted accreditation status with the American Veterinary Medical Association!

This is a big deal for our 12 year old school! This means that students no longer have to take foreign licensing exams to qualify to practice in the United States upon graduation. This also recognizes SGU as a veterinary school on par with all of the other US vet school programs. We are quite thrilled :)

Congratulations to everyone who has played a part in helping SGUSVM to become what it is today! We now really can claim that we are the best vet school. After all, in addition to living in paradise, getting unique life experiences, playing with all sorts of random critters, and meeting awesome people from around the world, we don't have any extra hoops to jump through at graduation time!

And...the frog/toad I caught after dinner tonight (special because he's super tiny unlike all of the gigantic cane toads!)
