Action | Increase in CE hours for veterinary technicians |

I fully support increasing CE requirements 8 per year. I am licensed in both Virginia and Maryland (Maryland already requires 24 every 3 years); Virginia currently requires fewer hours than most other states. I feel that in order for Virginia LVTs to remain up to date on topics, appear credible to the public, and remain competitive with other LVT/RVTs in the US, we should have to have 8 hours per year. An additional 2 hours of CE isn't that difficult to obtain. I would like to see technician/management courses counted towards CE in Virginia, since many techs later move into a managerial position within a hospital.
