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).
