Small Equine

Certificate of Recognition

Our primary goal is to promote qualified care through proper techniques, resources, and continuing education for the betterment and health of the horse.

Smaller equine or the miniature class of equine pose overall challenges in providing dental maintenance and
care that requires an acquired skill set. By mastering these skills, we have an opportunity to raise the standard
of care for these smaller breeds. Elevating the standard of care is part of the mission of the EDPA.

Currently, the EDPA provides approved certification for entry-level skills as required for licensing. In addition,
the EDPA provides annual education programs as a commitment to lifelong learning; which is the obligation of
every licensed professional regardless of their profession.

The EDPA is committed to providing focused and competent dental care for the horses we serve. Our small
equine patients require additional education, training, and experience in order to meet their needs. Therefore,
as we strive to raise the standard of care, we are required to meet those goals.

The EDPA is offering a Small Equine Certificate Recognition testing process for those members who have
already completed the EDPA Certification Testing. At the end of the testing process, the candidate will receive a

Certificate of Recognition in Small Equine Dental Studies and Testing

You will be able to display or advertise the certificate as part of your credentials.

individuals by recognized specialties within the American Veterinary Medical Association
(AVMA) and subsequently reserved for veterinarians.
