DVMO Training Course

Welcome! This course is required for new DVMOs (District Veterinary Medical Officers).

This self-paced training is recommended to be completed over 32 working hours during a four-week time-frame, however the training may take longer depending on your workload. You can spread out when you access the training according to your work schedule (e.g., access the training a few hours each day or complete it all at once over 4 working days, etc.). Participants may coordinate with their supervisor if additional time beyond the 32 working hours is needed.

• Humane Handling and GCP focused topics: HH/GCP policies, conducting establishment HH/GCP verification and enhanced outreach visits, HH/GCP noncompliance and enforcement, and HH/GCP correlation, data, and other duties
