As of 1 June 2012 all Veterinarians working at FEI Events will be required to carry an Official FEI Veterinarian Identification Card (the ID Card). All Veterinarians requiring access to the stable or other restricted areas and/or carrying out supportive treatments at an FEI event must be listed as an FEI Veterinarian and carry their FEI identification (ID) card.
To achieve this, treating veterinarians must have successfully completed an online multiple choice examination on FEI Veterinary and Equine Anti-Doping and Controlled Medication Regulations.
The new examination system affects Veterinary Service Managers, Treating Veterinarians, appointed for Events by Organising Committees, Team Veterinarians and Competitors’ Private Veterinarians, who will be referred to as a group by the term Permitted Treating Veterinarians.
Further details on the application process, the requirements and how to access the examination can be found on the Permitted Treating Veternarian page on the FEI website.
The exception to this will be those Veterinarians working without access to the controlled areas i.e. veterinarians working on the cross country during in eventing.
