Introduction
Welcome to the WCVM's online continuing education (CE) sessions that are developed to reflect the wide variety of animal health issues facing today's veterinary teams in mixed animal practice.
From January to April 2025, veterinary team members from all areas of practice — mixed animal as well as small animal and large animal — are welcome to join our speakers for CE sessions.
The CE sessions take place on selected Wednesday evenings from January to April 2025. Each 75-minute session will begin at 7 p.m. CST. The WCVM records each session and provides the video recording link to registrants several days after the event.
These sessions are approved for CE credit for veterinarians and registered veterinary technologists.
