VMRCVM Continuing Education

In the United States today, there are many opportunities for Continuing Education for Veterinarians and Veterinary Technicians. The faculty at the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine are dedicated to delivering the most in-depth and personal educational experience possible. While there are other less expensive programs that can meet one's Continuing Education requirements, we make a point of limiting our courses to small groups so that each participant receives personal instruction from our faculty instructors.

If you have any questions about any of our course offerings, please contact Anne Cinsavich, L.V.T., VMRCVM Continuing Education Coordinator at (540) 231-5261 or aclapsad@vt.edu.
