What makes VSPN online CE so special? Online Continual Education enhances veterinary medicine by allowing veterinary staff to expand their knowledge from their office or home with courses provided in a convenient, easy-to-use format.
VSPN's course offerings are designed to be of the highest caliber possible.
Real-time sessions are held, usually for 1-2 hours each week, in VSPN CE Classrooms using the VIN Unity conferencing center. Course participants log in for a live interactive session with the instructor(s). These sessions are logged and transcripted for your future use as study guides. As a
course participant you will have access to these transcripts even if you can't make it to class.
Each course has a library of course materials, including such resources as handouts, slide shows, and movies.
Each course also has an interactive message board for an ongoing dialogue between participants and instructors on the course material.

Note: Most VSPN courses are
approved for continuing education credit in jurisdictions that recognize American
Association of Veterinary State Boards' (AAVSB) Registry of Approved Continuing
Education (RACE)
and in selected other states. For appropriate courses we also apply for approval
of the Veterinary Hospital Manager's Association (VHMA). However participants
should be aware that some boards have limitations on the number of hours accepted
in certain categories. Information on state and provincial CE requirements is
available at RACE/Getting Credits.
Participants are encouraged to check with their licensing jurisdictions if they
have any questions regarding recognition by their board.
