What type of programs are eligible for CE credits for LVTs?

Continuing Education (CE) credits for Licensed Veterinary Technicians (LVTs) are designed to ensure that professionals remain informed about the latest developments in veterinary medicine and maintain their competency. Eligible programs for obtaining CE credits often include online, interactive, and participatory formats.

The reason this type of program qualifies for CE credits is that these formats typically engage the learner through various activities, assessments, and discussions, simulating a more traditional classroom experience. Interactivity ensures that participants can actively engage with the material and evaluate their understanding in real-time, making it a valuable and effective learning experience.

In contrast, in-person workshops may also offer CE credits but are not the only avenue available, which limits the scope of eligibility and flexibility. Self-paced courses might not meet the same participatory criteria, as they may not have the interactive components essential for CE credit approval. Programs accredited by the AVMA can provide recognition of quality, but not all qualified CE opportunities must be accredited by this organization. Thus, the inclusivity of online, interactive, and participatory programs offers a broader range of options for LVTs in fulfilling their CE requirements.
