2024 Continuing Education Conference

The EDPA offers continuing education (CE) for veterinarians, vet techs, and equine dental providers. The CE program is developed by the EDPA Certification Committee. All licensed Equine Dental Providers must accrue annual CE hours in order to maintain their licensure. The CE program must be approved by the State Veterinary Board. Most State Boards also accept USDA module courses, as well as any RACE (American Association of Veterinary State Boards, Registry of Approved Continuing Education), approved programs.

The EDPA applies for State and RACE approvals for all CE programs. Approved programs require specific detailed and relevant topics, professional and qualified speakers, specified presentation times as well as attendance hours, and record keeping of all participants and certificates of completion. The EDPA CE programs all meet these standards and requirements.

Veterinarians and Vet Techs: The EDPA will submit completed course hours onto the AAVSB RACEtrack after the event – Sign up for RACEtrack here.

The EDPA CE programs include wet labs, demonstrations, modules, presentations, and lectures. At times, these programs may be held at an equine hospital for an optimal learning experience.

The EDPA strives to offer CE programs at an affordable price. Discounted rates and priority seating are given to EDPA members. Please see our Become a Member page for more information if you want to join our association.
