RCVS Fellowship applications open
Applications open on 7 October 2021 during the Fellowship Evening.
The application process has changed slightly as part of the Fellowship's aim to become more inclusive and diverse.

Applications have now opened for RCVS Fellowship 2022. The RCVS is encouraging anyone who would like to be considered for Fellowship to apply, and if successful, they will be welcomed into the Fellowship next year.

The process for joining the fellowship has changed slightly for this year, as applicants will now need two signed referee forms instead of three professional references, and five assessors will review each application instead of three. 
 
The deadline for applications is 14 February 2022, and more information on how to apply can be found here. If applicants have any questions, or would like informal advice from previous successful applicants, they are encouraged to contact Ceri at c.chick@rcvs.org.uk
