Veterinarians can earn up to 12 Registry of Approved Continuing Education- (RACE) CEs for attending the DCRC Annual Meeting, Nov. 8-9, in Reno, Nev.

This RACE approval is for the subject matter categories of: Scientific (category one) and Non-Scientific-Practice Management/Professional Development using the delivery method of seminar/lecture (category three). The DCRC Annual Meeting approval is valid in jurisdictions that recognize AAVSB RACE. Participants are responsible for ascertaining each board's CE requirements.
