What is the maximum amount of CE credit that can be obtained from an online, audio, or cassette course?

The maximum amount of continuing education (CE) credit that can be obtained from an online, audio, or cassette course is established to ensure that veterinarians engage in a diverse range of educational experiences. Granting up to three hours of CE credit for these formats allows veterinarians the flexibility to learn at their convenience while still requiring them to participate in more interactive or in-person formats for additional hours.

This policy typically encourages practitioners to pursue a broader mix of educational opportunities, ensuring that they remain competent and current in the field. It also reflects a balance between accommodating different learning preferences and maintaining standards for professional development in veterinary practice. Thus, veterinarians can complete three hours of CE through these specific formats, but are encouraged to seek other types of learning experiences for the remaining credits needed for licensure renewal.
