OSU to offer online continuing-education classes

Columbus, Ohio

-- Starting next month, The Ohio State University College of Veterinary medicine will offer online continuing-education courses to veterinarians, technicians, breeders and owners.

Twelve courses will be offered on a variety of topics in small-animal medicine and surgery for the first year. Equine medicine and surgery courses will be added in the second and third years. The one-hour courses were created by OSU faculty members.

Courses will be in both audio and visual formats, through the Web site.

Each course includes a 15-minute test. Those who score at least 70 percent will have access to their certificates and records via the continuing-education Web site.

Course registration begins in November.

Each course costs $40 and counts for one hour of continuing-education credit. To register, visit www.vet.osu.edu/ce.
