American College of Veterinary Preventative Medicine (ACVPM) Reading List

This is only a convenience copy of the ACVPM reading list to help find copies of reading materials in local libraries.  It does not replace the official ACVPM reading list. Candidates are responsible for ensuring they use the latest ACVPM reading list.

ACVPM - Epidemiology

The board encourages candidates to practice reviewing recent peer-reviewed epidemiologic literature, with an eye toward the critical appraisal of important study design elements. This list is not exhaustive.

"Candidates are advised to consult as many reference materials as he or she feels necessary to prepare for the potential epidemiologic concepts on the examination. Below is a list of references that candidates may find useful in preparing for the examination.

"This list of references is not intended to be exhaustive or definitive. We suggest using the most current edition available for any of the references listed. We also encourage you to review and read as much current (past year) literature as possible (eg: Am J Epidemiol, Am J Public Health, Int J Epidemiol, JAMA, JAVMA, Lancet, MMWR, NEJM, Science, etc.) with particular focus on important public health and animal health issues such as bioterrorism, antimicrobial resistance, animal production, disease control, etc."
