Competency-Based Veterinary Education (CBVE) is an approach modeled after competency-based medical education and is designed to prepare graduates for professional careers by confirming their ability to meet the needs of animals and the expectations of society. This approach focuses on outcomes-based and learner-centered education and assessment.
The CBVE Model was originally published in 2018 and revised in 2023-24. The updated CBVE 2.0 Model may be downloaded using the link below. For more information, please visit cbve.org.
