Check out all the ways to earn your CE credits this month
We are kicking off the summer season with 14 sizzling continuing education (CE) activities available this June! Consider engaging in progressive learning moments this month and change your environment for a more relaxed experience to boost concentration and memory recall (science says it’s true). You’ll not only accumulate those earned RACE®-approved credit hours but also enjoy learning even more.
Veterinary professionals can do just that with dvm360 Flex™, a hybrid learning platform that provides a flexible approach for multimodal learners. For independent learners who prefer in-depth reading and case-based study, they can access the continuing education section within every issue of the dvm360® magazine and digitally on dvm360 Flex™. For our more collaborative learners, we also have a long list of live webinars coming up.
Let’s get started on those CE learning goals. Here’s the June line up:
Specialty: Nutrition
Faculty: Laura Gaylord, DVM, DACVN
Often veterinarians are recommending to “just feed less” to their clients suffering from obesity which can result in pet owners inappropriately reducing foods not intended for weight management, potentially causing deficient nutrient intakes, hungry pets, and ultimately failure in successfully managing the pet’s weight and body condition. Proactively identifying at-risk pets for overweight/obesity, feeding appropriate diets and amounts, monitoring our patients carefully and providing client support can help turn around the pet obesity epidemic.
