Examinations - Trainee Reference List

 

This recommended reading list is provided for guidance only and is not exhaustive; if appropriate the latest edition of any book should be looked at rather than that suggested here.

 
Approximately 80% of examination questions will be taken from books and journals listed; your journal scan should be restricted to the last five years. Other books or journals may contain good papers or articles on veterinary pathology and you should maintain a broad scan of relevant publications.

 

Candidates are reminded that textbook knowledge represents a substantial component of the examination
