FAQs

Q: What are the continuing education requirements for Veterinarians and Certified Veterinary Technicians?

A: All ‘active status’ Veterinarians and Certified Veterinary Technicians (CVTs) in Idaho are required to earn and report Continuing Education (CE) credits every two (2) years. That 2-year period starts July 1^stof the year of initial licensure. Example: If you receive your new license in January of 2021, your 2-year CE period is from July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2023. CE courses taken before or after that time period, (ex: March of 2020), would not count toward your 15 credits.

The link “2022 Renewal CE Vet & CVT Requirements” below shows the requirements for Vets and CVTs.
