How many hours of continuing education must be attended in person?

In Texas, veterinary professionals are required to engage in continuing education to maintain their licensure, and a portion of this education must be conducted in person to ensure that practitioners have hands-on experience and opportunities to interact directly with instructors and peers. The requirement for attending four hours in person is designed to encourage professionals to participate actively in seminars, workshops, or other educational events where they can gain practical insights, engage in discussions, and network with other professionals in the field. This face-to-face interaction is crucial for skill enhancement and knowledge sharing, which supports the overall competency and quality of veterinary care provided to animals.
