We admit it, our doctors are Continuing Education
Junkies! Wisconsin requires 15 hours every year of CE for
veterinarians, but our three doctors achieved over 100 hours in the
last year! Each year, our doctors attend at least one major,
national conference and bring back the latest information to share
with everyone. In addition, many hours of local conferences and
online CE are logged. Our staff also utilizes the Veterinary
Information Network (VIN) for consultations with specialists and
research as well as CE courses. And it’s not just the doctors—each
licensed technician attends annual CE and we hold regular
educational meetings for all the staff at Gentle Vet Animal Hospital
and the Cat Care Clinic to be sure that all our team members are up
on the latest. In today’s world, medical advances are being made
with stunning frequency, and we are committed to staying current
with the latest knowledge to help your pets!
