Last updated

The American Association of Veterinary Clinicians (or AAVC) is an association of veterinary clinicians that focuses on teaching and research in Veterinary Sciences. It was formed in 1958 by a group of clinicians of colleges of veterinary sciences and they assumed responsibility for the development of nomenclature and classification developed by the AVMA. [1] A directory published by the association called Directory of Internships and Residencies is disseminated to students interested in Post Graduate Programs in Veterinary Sciences, including information such as the details of the program, faculty support etc. [2] This program is called the Veterinary Internship Residency matching Program (VIRMP) and is similar to the Physician National Intern and resident matching Program.

Physician Professional who practices medicine

A physician, medical practitioner, medical doctor, or simply doctor, is a professional who practices medicine, which is concerned with promoting, maintaining or restoring health through the study, diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of disease, injury, and other physical and mental impairments. Physicians may focus their practice on certain disease categories, types of patients, and methods of treatment—known as specialities—or they may assume responsibility for the provision of continuing and comprehensive medical care to individuals, families, and communities—known as general practice. Medical practice properly requires both a detailed knowledge of the academic disciplines, such as anatomy and physiology, underlying diseases and their treatment—the science of medicine—and also a decent competence in its applied practice—the art or craft of medicine.
