USDA veterinary training modules available for free CE credit

The USDA's National Veterinary Accreditation Program (NVAP) training modules are now open to licensed veterinarians and veterinary technicians because of a partnership between the NVAP and Iowa State University, according to the AVMA.

There are 20 modules available for CE credit for accreditation renewal for USDA-accredited veterinarians who complete the training. All veterinarians and technicians can earn no-cost CE credits, which have been RACE-approved, by completing an optional seven-question quiz with at least five correct answers, the AVMA announcement notes.

The USDA hopes to better prevent the spread of foreign animal diseases, zoonotic diseases and animicrobial-resistant bacteria by opening the modules to more veterinary professionals. These modules are also open to the general public. To access the list of modules, click here.
