Oklahoma veterinarians are required to obtain 20 hours of CE every year. All 20 hours can be obtained via RACE-approved online.
Remember that when completing your required CE, there are a few things to be aware of.
Did you know you can complete all 20 required CE hours via RACE-approved online? Remember, at least 15 of your 20 hours must be devoted to scientific material. And you can't take any more than 5 hours devoted to non-scientific material.
Don't forget that every renewal period you also have to take 2 hours of CE encompassing state or federal controlled dangerous substance laws. You also have to take 1 hour of CE in pain management OR in opioid use or addiction if you currently hold a valid DEA registration.
