AAVA CE Information
AAVA CE Requirements to maintain “Active” status:
Currently, the AAVA Constitution and By Laws requires members who wish to maintain “Active” status to complete a minimum of ten (10) hours of AAVA approved continuing education every two years.
Qualifying programs and CE units:
All programs offered through AAVA will have the number of approved CE units determined and listed prior to the class date. AAVA currently accepts all CE credit as listed by the International Veterinary Acupuncture Society (IVAS), American Assoc. of Veterinary State Boards (AAVSB) RACE program, or hours listed by any provider for clinics taught by a L.Ac.. Providers not associated with AAVA nor accepted statutorily as listed above who wish to receive AAVA CE credit approval for their programs must provide summary information including speaker bios, program title, number of contact hours, and notes/outlines/summary of material to the AAVA Curriculum Review Committee for evaluation. Individuals wanting to attend a program offered by a provider outside of AAVA, or not listed here as approved, can have the program evaluated for CE credit by submitting summary information of the program to the AAVA Curriculum Review Committee. To insure that proper documentation of reception of your submission is maintained, please send all materials to the Melissa Concatelli:

Types of programs which may qualify for CE units:
Veterinary and non-veterinary acupuncture seminars and Chinese herb and TCM workshops will be considered for CE units. However, non-veterinary programs will qualify to the extent that the material applies to veterinary applications.
Refund Policy for AAVA courses:
Refund policy will vary with each course. Please check the individual course description or registration form for full details.
How to use this index:
The AAVA Web Committee has decided to post continuing education offerings in a web log (blog) format for easier updating and to give users the ability to have updates sent directly to their computers through news feed syndication. If you already use an RSS news aggretator, you can subscribe to our RSS Feed to receive CE information and updates automatically. If you don’t have an RSS aggregator, here is a list of available aggretators: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_feed_aggregators.
The RSS reader I’m currently trying out is called Feedreader. It’s a simple, free software for Windows 95 and above for downloading and reading RSS feeds.
The AAVA Web Log (blog) where we list CE offerings is located at: http://www.aava.org/php/aava_blog/ce-welcome/.
When you have viewed the seminar information, you can close the page to return to this index. Not all courses listed are sponsored by AAVA and are not under the control of AAVA nor any of its agents. Any questions or complaints about these programs outside of AAVA should be addressed to the agency sponsoring the program.
