CE Hour Requirements for Indiana Veterinarians

Indiana veterinarians licensed for a full 24 months are required to obtain 40 hours of CE every two years. All 40 hours can be obtained via live (interactive) online, and 10 hours can be obtained via self-study (non-interactive) online. Veterinarians licensed fewer than 24 months will need 20 hours of CE. Those licensed fewer than 12 months do not need CE to renew.

CE Course Parameters for Indiana Veterinarians

Remember that when completing your required CE, there are a few things to be aware of.

Did you know you can complete all 40 required CE hours via live (interactive) webinars? Remember, if you decide to mix interactive and self study (non-interactive) CE, you are limited to 10 hours of the self study (non-interactive) variety. 

There are no limitations on CE topics aside from them being relative to veterinary medicine unless you have a controlled substances registration. 

Don't forget that if you're applying for or renewing your controlled substances registration, you also have to take 2 hours of CE in the topics of opioid prescribing and opioid abuse.

We've researched the Indiana Board's regulations so you don't have to!
