Only about two weeks remain to register for the inaugural Regulatory/Official Veterinary CE conference (#RegVetCE), set for June 25-26 at Keeneland. The two-day continuing education conference for regulatory and official racetrack veterinarians presented by the National Thoroughbred Racing Association (NTRA) Safety & Integrity Alliance and the Racing Medication & Testing Consortium (RMTC) will cover topics related to pre-race examinations, on-track protocols, test barn best practices, data and documentation, technology resources, and biosecurity.

Online registration is available through June 1 at http://ntra.kinsta.cloud/reg-vet-ce, along with the full agenda featuring 21 guest speakers and social events.

Participation in #RegVetCE 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.

#RegVetCE is devised to complement the annual Grayson-Jockey Club Welfare and Safety of the Racehorse Summit (WSS), which is open to all and starts the following day, on June 27. Separate registration for the Summit is available at https://www.grayson-jockeyclub.org/WelfareSafety.

The Registry of Approved Continuing Education (RACE) program of the American Association of Veterinary State Boards (AAVSB) has approved #RegVet CE to offer 18.5 veterinarian continuing education credits.
