Guidelines for Fellowship
You have chosen to undertake Fellowship training
in a specific discipline within Veterinary Science. Your training
will culminate in the Fellowship examination. The Blue Book is
designed to provide the general information you will need throughout
your training and the examination. For specific Fellowship subject
information, you should refer to the appropriate Fellowship Subject
Guidelines, available from the College Office or the College web
site.
The College Council, Board of Examiners, Executive Officer and
Administrative Officer are all at your service to assist you towards
your goal. If the Blue Book or Subject Guidelines leave any question
unanswered, please contact the Executive Officer directly (refer
to contact details on the next page).
This book owes much to Drs Roger Cook, Robert Labuc and Philip
Thomas; several Boards of Examiners; and Mrs Elaine Lowe who have
worked tirelessly to keep it current.
I wish you all the very best as you proceed with your Training
Program and the examination.
Dr Megan Parker
Executive Officer
