CE Requirements

CE Notice from the Board of Veterinary Medicine 5/19/25:

The legislature adopted new rules promulgated by the Board in regard to continuing education. Those rules require licensees to complete 15 hours of continuing education germane to the practice of veterinarian medicine each renewal cycle. The rule was intended to be implemented with the new biennial renewal cycle adopted by statute. Unfortunately, biennial renewal is not yet a reality. Recognizing the intent of the rule, that 15 CE hours be required biennially, the Board has determined to use enforcement discretion during this current renewal period: Licensees will not be required to report CE until next renewal. All CE credit accumulated during the current renewal period may be added to CE hours completed during next year’s renewal cycle. At that renewal cycle, licensees will be required to report 15 total hours of CE, accumulated during the 2024-25 and 2025-26 renewal cycles.

All ‘active status’ Veterinarians and Certified Veterinary Technicians (CVTs) in Idaho are required to earn and report a minimum of fifteen (15) Continuing Education (CE) credits per year.

Continuing Education (CE) courses and completion certifications should be added to your online profile.
