While we're lucky to live in such exciting times, the demands placed on today's veterinary medical teams for expert patient care have never been greater. Procedures and techniques need to be updated frequently to keep up with the rapid changes in knowledge, materials and technology occurring in veterinary medicine.

Change is a challenge, and continuing veterinary medical education is a good source of the newest methods, materials and procedures to enable you to deliver quality care worthy of your reputation and standards.

RVT certification is more accessible than ever. Since 1994, unregistered veterinary assistants with three years of on-the-job training and 20 semester units, 30 quarter units, or 300 hours of specific continuing veterinary medical education can apply for the RVT exam.

The courses offered through the Center for Continuing Education at UC Davis are concentrated in the areas emphasized on the examination. Successful course completion will be recognized by the RVT Examination Committee for certification eligibility.
