CVET Training Programs

  • by Ashley Patterson

CVET has been working to develop new and update current trainings for all members! The CVET Basics course has been updated to an online interactive model. We have also been in development of an animal responder specific mental health awareness training in partnership with Growing Resiliency for Aquarium and Zoo Employees (GRAZE) and are near the finish line! Both of these courses will soon be available through Better Impact!

In addition, CVET has developed four triage and basic first aid training modules to assist training of animal responders on how to assess if an animal needs veterinary care. This training has been piloted and shared with many of our partners. If you’re interested in learning more, email us!

And lastly, CVET provided a veterinary specific disaster training webinar to veterinary professionals of the Oregon State University Disaster Action Management Team (DAM Vets). This course has been approved to meet the core competency 3 requirements for the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) Veterinary First Responder Certificate Program and will soon be available to all CVET responders as well!
