Frequently Asked Questions
Can I re-take a course, such as the Opioid 411 Anytime, and use the CE credits for additional renewal periods? The veterinary rules do not prohibit re-taking courses so they can be repeated in the next renewal cycle.
Do I have to turn in 12 hours of CE every year or 24 hours every two years? Licensees are required to earn and submit 24 hours of CE every two years, which can be turned in yearly or all at once. Contact the Wyoming Board of Veterinary Medicine if you are unsure of when your CE is due.
Are the NVAP Training Modules for Accreditation Approved CE? Yes, each module is approved for 1 hour.
How do I get CE approved for veterinarians? Contact the Wyoming Board of Veterinary Medicine.
