"It's an exciting time to join the Fellowship" - Dr Cheryl Scudamore.

Applications close on Monday 14 February. 

The Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RVCS) is reminding prospective applicants that applications for 2022's Fellowship intake will close in just a couple of weeks' time.

In a news release, the RCVS has sent out a reminder that the deadline for Fellowship intake applications is 5pm on Monday 14 February, and has reiterated the application requirements.

Three routes are available to take when joining the learned society, Meritorious Contributions to Clinical Practice, Meritorious Contributions to Knowledge and Meritorious Contributions to the Profession. Each route has different criteria, allowing for a wide range of people with different experiences and expertise to join the Fellowship.  

For all three routes, applicants should include a 2,000 word summary of their contribution to the profession, along with examples of significant bodies of work they have produced throughout the course of their career.

Full details of the application requirements, including how to apply, can be found on the RCVS website.

Vice-Chair of the Fellowship Board, Dr Cheryl Scudamore, commented: “The Fellowship Board always receives a number of excellent applications to join the RCVS Fellowship, and I’m sure this year will be no different.

“It’s an exciting time to join the Fellowship as this year we are launching a new platform that will help us to collaborate with each other and communicate our work to the wider profession.

“I look forward to welcoming the new Fellows, hopefully in person, at the College’s RCVS Day in the Autumn.”
