The National Veterinary Medical Series (NVMS) is an effective, economical system for learning and review. Basic and clinical veterinary sciences are outlined in a practical format that enables you to master large amounts of information in a limited amount of time.

The books in the NVMS help you prepare for the National Boards and the Clinical Competency Test and are excellent resources for problem-based learning.

Iowa State University, Ames. Review of veterinary pharmacology, for students preparing for the National Board Examination in veterinary medicine. Outline format with multiple-choice review questions. 4 U.S. contributors.
