Center for Continuing Professional Education

Why should you register for this course?

The demands placed on today's veterinary medical team for expert patient care have never been greater.  As of July 1, 2013, all RVTs will be required to complete 20 hours of continuing education during the 2 years prior to renewing their licenses.  Courses completed at this conference can be applied toward meeting this requirement

Your procedures and techniques need to be updated frequently to keep up with the rapid changes in knowledge, materials and technology occurring in veterinary medicine.

Continuing veterinary medical education is a good source to learn of the newest procedures to enable you to deliver quality care worthy of your reputation and standards.

We are proud to be able to offer these lectures online.
