Real experiences. Real success. Hear from our ISVPS candidates.

"For me, it was the best decision of my veterinary career. I have always been enthusiastic about ultrasound, but I couldn't find any other training programme in my country that wasn't super competitive and offered impossible working conditions. I have learned so much. Instead of waiting for answers from specialists, I now get most of the answers myself, while remaining aware of my limitations."
Dr. Yochai Avital DVM. MSc. GPCert(US)
“ISVPS and Improve Veterinary Education provided me with the opportunity to enhance and develop knowledge and skills in specific veterinary areas to deliver more substantial diagnoses and treatment plans. An ISVPS qualification allows us to be one step closer in providing further care for our loved ones.”
