The American Association of Veterinary State Boards (AAVSB) has accepted Dairy Cattle Reproduction Council’s (DCRC) submission for continuing education (CE) credits. Veterinarians can earn up to 12 Registry of Approved Continuing Education- (RACE) CEs for attending the DCRC Annual Meeting, Nov. 8-9, in Reno, Nev.

This RACE approval is for the subject matter categories of: Scientific (category one) and Non-Scientific-Practice Management/Professional Development using the delivery method of seminar/lecture (category three). The DCRC Annual Meeting approval is valid in jurisdictions that recognize AAVSB RACE. Participants are responsible for ascertaining each board's CE requirements.

In addition to the DCRC Annual Meeting general session, registrants may attend the preconference symposium, which will address Physiologic and Economic Perspectives Around Achieving High Fertility in High Producing Dairy Cows, Expanding Our Knowledge on Postcalving Health and Immunosuppression, and Capitalizing on Improved Fertility: What are My Options? The preconference symposium provides additional instructional time for meeting attendees at no extra charge. Elanco, Zoetis and Merck provided financial support for the preconference symposium.
