To conduct regulatory work, such as official tuberculosis testing and signing certificates of veterinary inspection, veterinarians must be accredited by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Before being accredited, you must complete an accreditation seminar in the state where you practice. You may also need certifications specific to the state where you practice.
The Wisconsin office for the USDA-Veterinary Services, and the DATCP Division of Animal Health (DAH), offer a seminar once a year at an evening session at the University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine primarily for graduating veterinary students.
Practicing veterinarians new to Wisconsin who need state accreditation in Wisconsin can contact the Wisconsin National Veterinary Accreditation Program (NVAP) Coordinator for more information, requirements, and to schedule a one-on-one session with a DAH field veterinarian.
