There are three tracks to choose from in the Certified Veterinary Acupuncturist (CVA) class: Small Animal, Equine, or Mixed Practice. Some class locations only offer one or two tracks. The track is selected on the class registration form.
While the Small Animal and Equine tracks spend their lab time learning species-specific acupoints, the Mixed Practice track learns the most commonly used acupoints of both species. Therefore, although the Mixed Practice track covers overall more acupoints than the single-species tracks, it covers fewer acupoints per species.
Because the curriculum varies between all three tracks, it is not ideal to switch tracks after the course has already begun. However, although generally advised against, if you wish to change your track, please email register@chiu.edu for more information and options.
