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 1stof 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.
Q: How do I submit my continuing education credits?
A: CE courses and completion certifications should be added to your online profile by using the link IBVMChanges (Login) (idaho.gov). Your reporting year can also be found in your online profile by going to page three (3) and looking for “Report Year.”
