When it comes to veterinarians and vet techs, you really can teach an old dog new tricks. This is because veterinarians and vet techs are constantly learning about new medications, new procedures, new diagnostics, and new treatment options for the animals that they care for. Veterinary professionals need to stay up-to-date on their CE training to be cutting edge in their field. All this information comes in the form of continuing veterinary education and is an essential part of being a top professional.
Stay at Home
Sometimes it’s hard to find top quality veterinary CE training. Maybe you live in a rural area or outside of a major city, and have to travel far to find continuing education. Maybe you have to close down your practice to travel to veterinary conferences, and don’t have readily available access to a relief veterinarian to fill in at your clinic. Getting CE can be both costly and a real challenge. Now, there’s more convenient options by using your smartphone or computer to complete online continuing veterinary education.
Wide Range of Topics
When you attend a veterinary conference or training seminar to obtain your hours of continuing veterinary education, there are certain limitations that prevent you from getting the CE that you want. Sometimes you’re limited by the speaker’s area of expertise. If it is a large veterinary conference, you may find that you have several sessions you want to attend but that it is impossible to get to all of them because of scheduling issues with the agenda.
With continuing veterinary education online, you can decide to listen to webinars or podcasts that are of interest to you. These podcasts and webinars will range in areas of interest from specific treatments of common and not so typical diseases through to new advances in veterinary technology and how they can be implemented in your practice.
24/7 Access
Websites offering continuing veterinary education will provide you with 24/7 access to all the CE you want to learn more about. This means you can get CE training hours before you head out to work in morning or even on your drive into the clinic.
With all the options offered through online continuing veterinary education and the low costs of yearly memberships to access the information, this is a great option for veterinarians to consider!
