| Q: When was AVMA Ed discontinued? |
| A: The AVMA Ed service was discontinued effective December 1, 2011.
|
| Q: Why was AVMA Ed discontinued? |
| A: The decision to discontinue AVMA Ed was not an easy one. During the planning stages of AVMA Ed several years ago, a majority of our members indicated that they wanted the AVMA to provide online CE. We responded, and after three years of providing online CE, we have found actual member usage to be far lower than expected. The low usage of this service has led to the decision to discontinue AVMA Ed, in the interest of spending membership dues dollars where they will provide the most member benefit. |
| Q: Will the AVMA offer online CE again? |
| A: We will continue to monitor trends in online veterinary CE in the event that it can become a tangible benefit to AVMA members in the future.
|
| Q: Can I get a certificate of completion for a course I passed when the service was still available? |
| A: Yes. Between December 1, 2011 and November 30, 2012 the AVMA will provide digital Certificates of CE Credit on request for those who successfully completed and passed AVMA Ed CE exams on or before November 30, 2011. Each AVMA Ed course is deemed by the AVMA to be worth one (1) hour of CE credit. You will need to have achieved a score of 70% or better on the CE exam to pass, then you may request a certificate to send to your state veterinary licensing board. Be sure to check with your state licensing board about its requirements for online continuing education. |
| Q: How do I request a Certificate of CE Credit? |
| A: If you successfully completed and passed one or more AVMA Ed CE exams prior to December 1, 2011, you may request a digital Certificate of CE Credit for those courses. To make a request, please contact the AVMA Ed team either by e-mail (avmaed@avma.org) or phone (847.285.6748 or 800.248.2862 ext 6748). Please allow up to 10 business days for processing of certificate requests. |
