Continuing Education

The State of Iowa requires veterinarians to have 60 hours of CE hours in a 3 year licensing period. How does the Iowa requirement compare to our surrounding states?  The states vary in their licensing period (either 2 or 3 years). The per year requirement is 10 hours in Missouri, 15 for Wisconsin,  16 for South Dakota and Nebraska , and 20 for Illinois and Iowa.  This year I attended the Iowa Veterinary Medical Association annual conference in September taking classes on hematology, cytology, pain management, ultrasound, and parasitology.  Next week I will be in Davenport for the Midwest Small Animal Association taking classes on practice management, Lyme Disease, flea control, utilizing compounding pharmacies, and anterior cruciate repair.  Then on November 28th I will attend a half day surgery lecture here in town.
