An ECBHM Residency Programme is a training programme that has been approved by the Education and Residency Committee (E&RC) allowing a graduate veterinarian (the Resident) to acquire in-depth knowledge of bovine health management and its supporting disciplines under the supervision and guidance of one or more Diplomate(s) of the ECBHM.
Two types of Residency Programmes can be carried out: a Standard Residency Programme or an Alternative residency Programme (see below).
To be admitted to carry out a Residency Programme, prospective residents will be required to have broad training and experience in clinical bovine health management and their supporting disciplines, which must be attained by participation in a one to one-and-a-half years internship, or its equivalent, as approved by the Education and Residency Committee (E&RC).
A Standard Residency Programme (SRP) is carried out only in an approved institution, and consists of a period corresponding to at least 3 years of full time supervised training.
The period can be taken consecutively or on a part-time basis as long as the total time spent on training equals or exceeds 3 years (full-time equivalent) and the total period does not exceed 5 years.
All the information are detailed in the updated ECBHM Policies and Procedure
An Alternative Residency Programme (ARP) should be comparable to 3 years full-time SRP and must be carried out under the supervision of a Diplomate of the College (Primary Supervisor).
For example, an alternative programme may involve working in a bovine practice under the supervision of a Diplomate of the College while undertaking a series of predetermined specialist training modules provided by external institutions.
All the information are detailed in the updated ECBHM Policies and Procedure.
