Course Information:
Organized by species, each Real Time Session will highlight the "Top 20" diseases and conditions
encountered by practitioners in the U.S. and Canada. All Real Time Sessions will include multiple-choice
questions similar to those that candidates will encounter on the NAVLE®.
The questions will lead to a brief discussion and summary of each condition in a distilled format.
We will cover NAVLE® study plans and exam strategies and provide strategies for reviewing
topics not covered in the "Top 20s." The last session will include a mock examination.
Course Objectives: This course will provide the participant with
- guidance on NAVLE® preparation, test-taking strategies, and best study materials.
- a weekly live review covering a wide selection of NAVLE®-style material.
- the opportunity to interact with other NAVLE® candidates and professors in class and on the message boards.
- weekly practice in answering one-best-answer multiple-choice questions in a timed format.
- access to boarded clinicians for expert real-time assistance.

** NOTE: The instructors provide a lot of excellent material and do their best to answer participant
questions in the time allotted. Sometimes a session can run overtime by 15 to 30 minutes because
of the number of participant questions posted. Participants are not required to stay late when the
session runs overtime but it is in their best interests to do so. A transcript of the Real Time Session,
including any session overtime, will be available in the course library the following day.
Participants can use the transcript to review any portion of the class that they may have missed.
Enrollment will be limited to 450 registrants. This class may fill quickly; students and veterinarians
interested in the structured active learning provided through Real Time Sessions and message boards
should register now to ensure a "seat" in class. Please enroll only if planning to attend all Real
Time Sessions and fully participate in the course.
