Should all CE/CPD be accredited?
Each year I record all of the continuing education or professional development that I have undertaken. As a Veterinary Technicians Specialist (VTS) in the USA, a Registered Veterinary Nurse (RVN) and as a Suitably Qualified Person (SQP) in the UK; I have to undertake very specific CPD and CE that is for the VTS and SQP have to be accredited. Requirements for the RVN currently stand as 45 hours over a 3 year period. Though as a clinical coach training students, my RVN CPD needs to be 15 hours yearly to show that I am current in my knowledge and to undertake a clinical coach update meeting yearly.
