ANZCVSc study group

The EpiCentre has set up a study group to prepare the examination for Membership of the Australian College of Veterinary Scientists , by examination in epidemiology. The  guidelines  were updated in 2015. A study guide was compiled in 2005 by Cameron Bell, Zoe Cannon, Katherine Clift and Mark Stevenson, but does not always match the current learning outcomes.  The next examination will be held in mid-2017.
