CE Hour Requirements for Missouri Veterinarians

Missouri veterinarians are required to obtain 10 hours of CE every year. All 10 hours can be obtained online. 

CE Course Parameters for Missouri Veterinarians

Remember that when completing your required CE there are some topic limitations.

At least 6 of your 10 hours have to be scientific (medical) in nature. You can't take any more than 4 hours in non-scientific subjects such as communication skills, medical record-keeping, stress management, or practice management. 

Missouri is ahead of the game! Other states have set limits or parameters for online CE but Missouri allows for veterinarians to complete all CE hours online in any mix of live (interactive) or self study (non-interactive) formats. 

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