Specialty Board Reading Lists
If you're preparing for veterinary board examinations or veterinary technician specialty exams, NC State Libraries can provide you with access to relevant resources. Linked below are curated book lists based on the official reading lists that will show you where to find print and eBook copies of reading materials.
These resources are not meant to replace the official reading lists. It is the candidate's responsibility to ensure they use the latest reading lists as distributed by the recognized specialty academies. If we don't have what you need, Interlibrary Services will get it for you through interlibrary loan. Please feel free to reach out to the library staff at libraryvetmed@ncsu.edu if you have any questions.
