🙁 hi every one
i am USA citizen graduated from Libya as veterinarian (BVM) and now i am going USA trying to work there so pleas inform my how to start.
to any one has this situation or 'wont help😍
 
The first thing you have to do to practice in the US is take the NAVLE exam. After that, you need to take the State Board Exam (depending on what state you are in... some don't have one).
I think that is basically it. Google NAVLE for more info on where and when and how to take that.

hi
from your experience which state better and if i can work as vet whit out License(where)
 
In general, you cannot practice without a license in any state.

There are some specific exceptions in some states. For example, some states don't require veterinarians at universities to have a license as long as they are only working at the university.
 
Hey, my opinion is that I think people should stop trying to find easier ways to be a vet in US. Just do it the right and legal way.
 
^👍

There are no shortcuts. I know no one wants to have to take the national and then state licensing exams, but seriously....don't try and find a loophole just to get ahead. What state or geographical area you practice in depends almost entirely on where you want to live and, to a smaller extent, what animal species you are most interested in (ie lots of small animal in urban areas, more large animal/equine in rural areas)
