Meet the Newest 2024 ACVO Diplomates!

ABVO is pleased to congratulate the following new ACVO Diplomates from the 2024 ABVO Exam! 

Listed below are the 29 candidates who have passed all three sections of the 2024 ABVO Examination and were granted ACVO diplomate status in August 2024. They are now officially, 'ophthalmologists', 'specialists', and 'DACVO's' and may use the following ACVO trademarks; 'DACVO' and/or 'Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Ophthalmologists' as their credentials. New Diplomates will receive a complimentary membership to the ACVO for the remainder of 2024.

Be sure to read their biographies and thank you notes that will be included in the digital ACVO Membership Meeting agenda packet, which will be distributed to all members in time for the business meeting in Savannah!
