Meaning of an Acronym?

Postby krp » Sun Jan 07, 2007 5:16 pm

Does anyone know what the meaning of DVM, MS, DACVP means? I know that there a vet, but what do all those characters stand for!

DVM = Doctor of Veterinary Medicine
MS = Masters of Science
I am not sure about the last one, but I suspect it is
DACVP = Diplomate of American College of Veterinary Pathologists

Would anyone know if the DACVP would also mean that they are a board certified pathologist?

Yes, if my assumption is correct DACVP is a board certified pathologist (that is what the Diplomate of American College of Veterinary Pathologists would mean).
