The Department of Agriculture recently published a proposal, long in the works, to create two tiers of accreditation under the National Veterinary Accreditation Program.
Accreditation allows veterinarians to perform certain regulatory tasks to prevent or control the spread of disease. The USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service proposes to amend existing regulations to establish two accreditation categories instead of the current single category, to add requirements for supplemental training and renewal of accreditation, and to offer accreditation specializations.
Category I accreditation would focus on companion animals, not including horses. Veterinarians with Category I accreditation would be able to complete certificates for the interstate or international movement of companion animals, participate in surveillance of exotic diseases in companion animals, and work with other animal species as necessary during outbreaks of disease. Category II would encompass all animal species and activities requiring accreditation.
