Course Description
As of January 1, 2011, the State of California has mandated that all veterinary hospital workers receive radiation safety training. Additionally, all clinics are now required to keep safety and technique training records of all staff for Veterinary Medical Board inspection review. We are pleased to offer the first ever online training module for California veterinary professionals to understand and fulfill these two requirements.
Taught by nationally recognized RVT, Candi Stafford, our Radiation Safety and Techniques Course includes two training videos on radiation safety and animal positioning in addition to Ms. Stafford's Animal Positioning in Veterinary Radiology downloadable manual. Each participant must complete a quiz after viewing the videos to test their knowledge and receive a certificate of completion.
Tuition is $50 and participants may enroll at any time.
Ms. Stafford's course does not offer any CE credits at this time.
If you are looking for CE credits, consider registering online for this Veterinary MRI course. Upon completion of the MRI course, RVTs can earn 14.5 CE credits.
