AVMA Veterinary First Responder Certificate Program

The AVMA Veterinary First Responder Certificate Program verifies that participants are prepared to respond efficiently and effectively to disasters. The program serves as a framework for ensuring veterinarians and veterinary students have the knowledge and skills to serve as first responders. It does this by outlining the competencies participants must satisfy by completing approved courses and educational material that are associated with the respective competencies, and issuing a certificate to registered participants upon completion of all the requirements.

Disaster and business continuity planning

Business continuity planning and preparedness are key to business survival. Just as we encourage clients to protect their animals in a disaster, and we take steps to protect our own families and loved ones, we also must put plans in place to protect our practices. Learn the essential elements of an emergency/disaster business continuity plan and how to create – or improve – one for your practice.
