PAID CE DAYS
Benefit Summary
PetWow recognizes that veterinarians must complete pursue education not only to meet state and federal licensing requirements, but also to keep abreast of new ideas, techniques, and products which may improve the level of care which veterinarians are able to offer pet owners. Accordingly, we provide Paid CE Days which veterinarians earn throughout the work year. Veterinarians begin accruing paid CE from the moment they join the team. The amount of paid CE which each veterinarian earns during the course of each year is determined by his or her average hours worked per week.
-
Two-Year Usage Allowance: In addition, since we understand that CE requirements typically function on a two-year basis and that veterinarians often wish to achieve all of their two-year CE requirements by attending a single CE event, we allow veterinarians to utilize up to two-years worth of Paid CE in a given year, whether this means utilizing more CE time than has actually yet been accrued for a two year period (i.e we allow "unearned" CE time usage); or else carrying over CE time from one year to the next in order to facilitate a larger time block in which to attend a CE event.
