The CAETA Peaceful Euthanasia Certification
Pet euthanasia is among the most common procedures in veterinary medicine. However, it is surprising to note that most veterinary professionals are not formally trained in this area. To address this gap, the CAETA Peaceful Euthanasia Certification program has been designed to provide outstanding education in companion animal euthanasia. The main objective of this program is to enhance the overall experience of the pet, caregiver, and veterinary team during the euthanasia process.
The instructors of the CAETA Peaceful Euthanasia Certification program are highly experienced and knowledgeable in the field, and their expertise will significantly alter how you care for dying pet patients and their loved ones. This virtual veterinary certification program is unparalleled in its approach.
Upon successful completion of the course and final exam, you will earn a prestigious credential as a Certified Peaceful Euthanasia Veterinarian (CPEV, for DVMs) or a Certified Peaceful Euthanasia Professional (CPEP, for other veterinary professionals). Additionally, participants will accrue 10 hours of RACE-approved continuing education credit (CE) recognized by the American Association of Veterinary State Boards (AAVSB).
