Introduction
The
objective
of this education initiative to enhance the
capability of the
veterinary professional to suspect and
assist in the diagnosis of a
foreign disease in livestock or companion
animals. This course is
designed in
a self-study format whereby the student
utilizes the online educational
resources listed below to learn the
definitions, etiology, host range,
geographic distribution, transmission,
incubation period, pathogenesis,
clinical signs, gross legions, diagnosis,
control and eradication and
public health variables associated with the
Foreign Animal Diseases
outlined in The Gray Book Online. Note:
The Foreign
Animal Diseases Online Test will
concentrate on these agents. Additional study materials
have been provided to
further support this educational
objective.
To begin, study and review
of the online resources
linked below. Your registration will
be submitted in conjunction
with the completion of the Foreign Animal
Diseases Online Test form.

Institute's work associated with 193 member
countries of the
United Nations, presents
a challenge regarding
accreditation standards, therefore we request
enrollees to check with
their state's regulatory board to ensure
acceptance of online
continuing education credit for the purposes
of state license
requirements.
