The National Thoroughbred Racing Association (NTRA) Safety & Integrity Alliance and the Racing Medication & Testing Consortium (RMTC) today announced that its inaugural  Regulatory/Official Veterinary CE conference (#RegVetCE) is officially approved for 18.5 veterinarian continuing education credits by the Registry of Approved Continuing Education (RACE) program of the American Association of Veterinary State Boards (AAVSB).

The two-day continuing education conference for regulatory and official racetrack veterinarians is set for June 25-26 at Keeneland, preceding the Grayson-Jockey Club Welfare and Safety of the Racehorse Summit (WSS) on June 27, and will cover topics related to pre-race examinations, on-track protocols, test barn best practices, data and documentation, technology resources, and biosecurity.

Participation in #RegVetCE18 is limited to active official vets employed or sponsored by a racetrack or regulatory authority. Select additional participants may be admitted at the discretion of the organizers. Early registration is encouraged on account of limited space.

Details on speakers, topics, activities, registration and more can be found on the new #RegVetCE page on the NTRA website at http://ntra.kinsta.cloud/reg-vet-ce.
