What is LEAP?

Licensure Examination Assistance Program or LEAP is a review program based at the CLSU College of Veterinary Science and Medicine. It holds annual review sessions for veterinary graduates who will take the Veterinarian Licensure Examination administered by the Professional Regulations Commission. The program is composed of 8-week classroom set-up review to accommodate the 8 core subjects of the veterinary profession. This is open to all graduates from different veterinary schools. Aside from the relevant review given by invited speakers from their respective field of specialization, the program also provides review manuals, weekly assessments and mock exams, QOTD (question of the day) sent thru text messages and access to private FB group where additional reviewers are uploaded.

Through the collaborative efforts of the faculty members of the CLSU College of Veterinary Science and Medicine, the number of passers from LEAP increases through the years. Since its establishment, it had produced numerous topnotchers from 1st to 10th places every VLE. So far, the review program consecutively topped the board exam since 2013.

OUR SERVICE

With the advent of technology, we do not just rely on old-school lecture. We venture on different teaching methods that enhance as well as monitor the progress of our enrollees. We managed private Facebook groups exclusive for enrolled participants where additional review information are uploaded. Individually, we send question of the day (QOTD) encouraging the enrollees to review further and go for extra mile. We also conduct quiz bee encouraging our enrollees to form camaraderie among them while enhancing and assessing their preparedness for the board exam.
