TEXAS ACADEMY OF VETERINARY PRACTICE

Where the Value of Continuing Education is Recognized...

Established in 1970, the Texas Academy of Veterinary Practice (TAVP) is an organization within TVMA that promotes high standards of veterinary medicine through continuing education. The TAVP stresses continuing education as a qualification for membership and has developed programs awarding continuing education credits and appropriate certifications for participation in selected educational programs. It also hosts two symposiums a year.

To be a member of the Academy, a veterinarian must obtain a minimum of 50 credit hours of CE annually. Each member receives a plaque recognizing this achievement, with plate attachments for each year of membership. The Academy also offers an associate level of membership, which requires 30-49 hours of CE per year. Associates receive a certificate annually. All TVMA members in good standing who are of high moral and professional character, are engaged or employed in any aspect of the veterinary profession, and are members of their local veterinary medical association may apply for membership to the academy. For more information on the Academy, call the TVMA office at 512/452-4224.

Academy News: 
2008 Membership Applications are now available. Current Academy members should send completed application and $50 dues to the TVMA office no later than January 25, 2008 to maintain their current status of membership. Practitioners interested in joining the Academy can do so anytime during the calendar year. Download the 2008 membership application HERE.

Mark your calendars for June 19-21, 2008 for the TAVP Summer Symposium at the beautiful St. Anthony Hotel in San Antonio. Information of the upcoming symposium will be posted on this website and in the TVMA publications shortly.

CE Guidelines:

The following types of CE are considered acceptable toward membership to the Academy:

What are acceptable sources for continuing education?

Any local, regional, state, national or international veterinary medical association meetings and/or other continuing education credits outlined as acceptable by the TAVP, TSBVME or the American Association of Veterinary State Boards plus the various outlets and sources listed above.

What if I want to submit CE credits from a course or source that meets the requirements listed under “acceptable CE” but are not from a local, regional, state, national or international veterinary medical association meeting?

You must submit a course completion certificate showing the sponsoring/approval organization and the number of hours completed with your TAVP membership application.

What if I have over 50 hours of continuing education in the renewal year?

Members who complete more than fifty (50) acceptable hours of continuing education in a given year may carryover up to twenty (20) hours (of those in excess of fifty) to the following year’s application.

What if I was unable to get 50 hours of continuing education during the year?

During years when a member cannot obtain the fifty (50) hours needed to renew, Associate membership is available only requiring thirty (30) to forty-nine (49) hours of continuing education. This will allow the member to continue membership until a time when they can increase their CE hours to meet Active membership requirements.
