The Only End-to-End Pathway to Membership Success and Beyond

9 months of structured, exam-focused preparation followed by 9 months of mentoring = confidence, credibility, and career transformation.

Here’s why:

It changed their dentistry, and their careers

Raw and real video: Dr. Olivia James managed to forget how to say ANZCVS (twice!), didn’t notice the halter covering half her face, and even said the Membership exams happen twice a year (she meant every two years!).

  • Olivia is fantastic and very giving with her knowledge and time. Would highly recommend for anyone sitting their membership exams.
    This program has been essential to guide my study for membership exams. I have learnt so much and met a group of other crazy dental vets that I can discuss cases with which is invaluable.
    Dr. Ali Gollan
    BVSc
  • I completed the equine dentistry virtual internship in 2022 and it was an incredible experience. The training and expert guidance provided me with the skills and confidence to provide optimal equine dentistry services in the field to my patients, helping them and their owners. It also supplied me with the knowledge to pass my equine dentistry membership exams with the Australia and New Zealand College of Scientists. (ANZCVS).
    Dr. Shaan Mocke
    BVSc MANZCVS (Equine Dentistry)
  • First, I completed the Platinum Dentistry program. After that, I wanted to assess my knowledge, so I participated in a virtual internship, which was intensive. Meeting everyone was a great experience, and I was thrilled to realize that by attending the lectures and meetings, my knowledge was up to the standard needed to pass the exam of the Australian and New Zealand College.
    Sini-Maria Peltola
    Australia
  • Taking part in the Virtual Internship was extremely rewarding and has propelled my dentistry forward. The depth of knowledge we covered and succinct structure of the program was what I expected and more. The combination of reading lists and journal articles was great to cover the most important topics quickly and allowed me to us my time wisely. I cite articles daily to clients and it’s a great feeling to really know the subject so much more thoroughly now. Practice exam questions were invaluable and designed well to prepare me to sit my exams. Thanks to the internship I truly feel filled to the brim with dental knowledge. I was able to sit my exams and work through the questions with confidence and I may have even over-answered many of the questions. This program does an excellent job preparing you to sit the exam and will take your dentistry to the next level. In addition to learning so much and sitting the exam I am also thankful for the well organized notes, articles, and references i have at my fingertips. It has also been awesome to meet and learned from some of the legends of equine dentistry.

  • I recently participated in The Equine Practice Company Virtual Internship in preparation to sit my Membership Exams with ANZCVS. The virtual format made this accessible to me in rural Queensland, as a solo practitioner living on a cattle property with my young family. The flexibility to access the materials at any time allowed me to balance my study schedule with family and work commitments. Through this program I have made friends with likeminded ‘dental nerds’ from all over the world and gained so much from studying alongside people with a variety of clinical experience. The virtual internship has significantly boosted my confidence and preparedness for the exams. I would probably not have been brave enough to take on the exam process without the framework and study plan this program provides.
    Dr. Margot Little
    BVSc MANZCVS (Eq Dentistry)
  • The Virtual Internship provided all the required papers for additional reading, ensured the topics were broken down into manageable pieces and made you accountable to both Olivia and your study group. The Virtual Internship also has given me insight into how to structure my study in the future if I wish to complete futher examinations. As a busy mum of two, running a growing equine practice, doing this course was absolutely vital for me passing my exams. Thank you for offering this course!
    Libby Cooper

  • We had regular zoom meetings that gave us targets to aim for and kept me accountable. It was great to have a group that placed me placed me in a room full of people in a very similar position, wondering the same ‘silly’ questions! It was a very safe space, had some really great guest lecturers and gave us invaluable practice for the membership exams! Definitely recommend if you’re considering further study in equine dentistry.
    Dr. Ashleigh Fisher
    BVSc MANZCVS (Eq Dent)
  • The Virtual Internship was a great avenue to receive guidance and feedback while pursuing higher knowledge of equine dentistry. Guest lecturers were enlightening and inspiring.

This program isn’t for everyone — and that’s by design.

It’s for you if…

  • You’re a qualified veterinarian with at least 3 years in practice.
  • You’re already performing at least 2 equine dentals a week (and want to do more).
  • You’re committed to sitting the ANZCVS Membership exam in Equine Dentistry and earning the post-nominals that set you apart.
  • You’re hungry for structure, accountability, and the unfair advantage that comes from studying alongside the best in the world.

It’s NOT for you if…

  • You’re not willing to commit the time and energy to weekly study.
  • You’re hoping to “dabble” in dentistry without putting in the work.
  • You want refunds or hand-holding – this program demands personal responsibility.

If you’re serious about advancing your career, this is the most direct path to success. If not, please save your seat for someone who is.

Our Commitment (Read This Before You Apply)

It’s a serious commitment designed to get serious results.

That’s why:

❌ No Refunds.
If you’re unsure, or you’re looking for a program you can “try” and drop halfway, this isn’t for you. Seats are limited and reserved only for veterinarians who are all-in.

✅ Our Promise.
If you show up, complete every assignment, and attend the sessions, you’ll have the same framework that has helped more than 40 veterinarians successfully prepare for – and pass – their Membership exams.

We don’t chase people who don’t do the work, but for those who do, the system works. And if life gets in the way, we offer re-enrolment options at a reduced fee so you never have to start from scratch.

The bottom line: your success depends on your effort — but you won’t be doing it alone.

The ROI of Your Membership

Earning your MANZCVS (Equine Dentistry) post-nominals isn’t just about prestige – it directly impacts your career and income.

Blue outline icon of stacked coins with an upward arrow and dollar sign, representing financial growth or investment return, on a transparent background.

Increased referrals.

Membership recognition positions you as the trusted authority in your region. Colleagues and clients look for the letters after your name when deciding who to send cases to.

Higher-value cases.

Just one advanced referral case can cover the full cost of this program. Everything beyond that is pure upside.

Career-long dividends.

Those three extra letters after your name never expire. Over the span of your career, the financial and professional return compounds into the hundreds of thousands.

The truth:

You can’t afford NOT to invest in this. Waiting two more years doesn’t just delay your recognition – it delays years of extra income, missed opportunities, and career advancement.

Final Call: This Is Your Window

Applications for the 2025–26 Virtual Internship in Equine Dentistry close on 30th September 2025

If you’re not in by then, you’ll be waiting until 2027 for the next chance.

Seats are capped per timezone to keep groups small and effective. Once they’re filled, they’re gone. You already know where you want to be: confident, recognized, and ready to pass your Membership exam on the first attempt. The only question is whether you’ll take the step now – or let two more years slip by.

Frequently Asked Questions

The virtual internship for 2025 examinations is a ‘fast track’ program that runs for 9 months. We start in early November  and finish in mid of the year once the last exam has been completed.

We start the first session in early November 2025. You will receive an information email that walks you through how to access all of this information (and YES this will all be available on our app so you always have handy access for those pockets of downtime).

The session schedule will be published ahead of time. It would be impossible to find a schedule that suits 100% of the virtual interns, you may need to make some allowances to your home and work schedules. For those in the USA your sessions will be in the evening, for those in Europe they will be in your mornings.

That depends on your baseline experience and study habits.

👉🏼 To start with, plan for 1–3 hours per week to cover reading, journal articles, and tasks.

👉🏼 We release reading lists weekly to keep you moving without overwhelm.

👉🏼 As exams approach, sessions become more frequent and you’ll need to allocate extra hours.

👉🏼 Plan to book out the week before the written exams purely for study — this time should be dedicated to consolidating your knowledge.

👉🏼In the final weeks, your focus is review and practice rather than new content.

Anything worthwhile doing is worthwhile doing well — consistency is key.

The sessions will be recorded and able to be viewed later on if you need to miss a session.

You DO NOT need to be performing advanced procedures such as extractions, sinus surgery etc to undertake the Virtual Internship OR the ANZCVS examinations. The study will prepare and lead you in to doing these procedures if you wish. 

YES! you don’t need to fit the membership criteria (eg be at least 3.5 years graduated at the time of examination etc) to join the virtual internship, we have had expressions of interest from many veterinarians who just want to improve but don’t want to sit examinations. 

To sit the Membership exams in June 2026, you must:

👉🏼 Be at least 3.5 years graduated by the exam date (June 2026).
👉🏼 Hold a veterinary degree registrable in Australia or New Zealand.

If you are a non-AU/NZ graduate, you can still apply. You’ll need to submit:

👉🏼 A CV highlighting your dentistry CPD,
👉🏼 A certified copy of your veterinary degree,
👉🏼 A letter of support from an ANZCVS member or a veterinarian registered in Australia/NZ.

Additional important notes:

👉🏼 English fluency is required to complete the exams successfully.
👉🏼 Earning Membership is a recognition of advanced knowledge — it does not grant automatic licensure to practise in Australia or New Zealand.

Yes!  We offer two options: upfront payment (for the best price) or monthly payment plans that is a little more budget friendly. Don’t forget to sign up for the Ultimate Equine Dentistry Program Platinum Package to maximise your chances of success.

This program does not offer refunds.  I am making a commitment to you and I expect you to make a commitment to me. If you are not prepared to put in the hard work to improve yourself, there are plenty of other things you can be doing with your time.

Membership application and exam fees directly to the College.

👉🏼 The application fee is currently around AUD $1,700.

👉🏼 These fees are set by the College and may change, so always check the latest information on the ANZCVS website before applying.

Earning your MANZCVS (Equine Dentistry) post-nominals goes beyond prestige – it changes your day-to-day case mix and revenue:

✅ More referrals: Colleagues and clients actively seek out dentists with Membership status for advanced cases.

✅ Keep more cases in-house: Instead of referring patients away, you can treat them yourself and retain the income.

✅ Radiographs done right: At least 20% of dental cases should include radiographs, yet most practices miss this. Developing confidence in radiographic interpretation means better patient outcomes and immediate new revenue.

Even a single advanced referral or a handful of correctly billed radiograph cases can offset the full cost of the program.

Don’t miss out on this incredible opportunity to advance your career.
