Avian Pathology

Participants must take a quiz after each online presentation in order to obtain CE credits. Each quiz can be taken up to 3 times, if needed, to earn a 100% completion score. Once a participant has received a score of 100%, the Certificate of Completion will be available to download or print. Each CE hour earned will be issued by the NC State College of Veterinary Medicine and is approved by the NC Veterinary Medical Board.

Course fees are $25 for each 1 hour credit course.
