Illinois Launches Program of Veterinary Continuing Education Online

Continuing education any time, anywhere. That's the goal of VEO, or Veterinary Education Online, an Internet-based program now available from the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine

Veterinarians who enroll in VEO courses have 24/7 access to the modules from any computer with Internet connectivity. Enrollees complete the course at their own pace over 60 days.

Courses were written by nationally known experts at the University of Illinois. Topics include pain management, diagnostic imaging, dentistry, ophthalmology, cytology, parasitology, and emerging diseases. Each course consists of modules that range from 15 minutes to 3 hours of continuing education credit. The average price is less than per hour of credit, and packages of multiple modules are offered at a discount.

"Veterinarians in single-doctor practices or in remote locations may especially value the ease of access VEO makes possible," notes Dr. Christine Merle, coordinator of marketing for Veterinary Education Online. "The obstacles of time, distance, and money are reduced or removed via the Internet, while the topics are immediately applicable for busy practitioners."

Funded in part by generous grants from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation and U of I Online, the VEO program is managed by the Office of Public Engagement at the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine.
