RACE® Acceptance by Jurisdictions
About RACE Program Acceptance
RACE acceptance is determined by each individual jurisdiction. They retain their right to refuse to accept, partially or in full, any Provider or program that RACE approves based on their regulation(s). Veterinary boards do not standardize veterinary continuing education, as each board maintains its own requirements.
Most of the AAVSB Member Boards recognize RACE-approved continuing education, but Providers and participants should verify recognition and be aware of any limitations on accepted hours in certain categories or restrictions of delivery methods.
Participants should contact their veterinary boards for specific clarifications and to see if a program will meet their criteria for continuing education. Rules and regulations are constantly reviewed and/or updated, and changes take a while to become effective.
RACE Program Scope
The RACE program reviews and approves Providers and their programs according to RACE standards but does not accredit them. Additionally, RACE approves contact hours/credit hours, not CEUs (continuing education units).
