This is my first year working as a vet tech, but I'm unsure how to find continuing education opportunities. I know I'm supposed to have 30 hours, but how do you usually go about finding the courses to take? I'm feeling worried about it and don't know who to ask or how to go about it. Thanks!

I think it's important to speak with your colleagues and other professionals in the field for advice and recommendations. I'd also suggest doing some online research to explore what courses and options are available to you. Good luck!

Check out aalas.org they have a list of ways to earn credits. A big way is from branch meeting/conference. Can join online as well to make things easier. Good luck!

Yep, this is what I used when I was working as a tech. You could also check out your state's resources because some states have more robust resources than others. Best of luck!

Ask people at you clinic/hospital who are in the career path you would like to be on. Ask them about the degrees they got

Go to Navta.net or your state Vet Tech association if you have one.
