He also gained proficiency in teaching students, veterinarians, technicians , and the general public about veterinary dentistry. In the final year of the program Dr. Beebe was selected as Resident of the Year. Following completion of his residency, he sat for and successfully passed the three-day national board certification examination, earning the prestigious title of Diplomate of the American Veterinary Dental College.
