About the Course

As veterinarians, we are committed to animal health and well-being and having undergone intensive study for many years to gain the skills and knowledge to examine, diagnose and treat animals, it is often disconcerting to discover that our conventional training leaves us bereft of options in some cases. The successful treatment of many chronic, inflammatory diseases is the most obvious cause of frustration. Obesity, arthritis, diabetes, cancer and so on, can prove to be frustratingly intransigent to our best conventional efforts.

So where do you go next to find more viable options to add to your veterinary toolbox?

Many veterinarians turn to a range of therapies that are not routinely covered in our veterinary training. These may be called complementary or alternative therapies but in reality, they are simply additional methods of examining, diagnosing and treating our patients in an individualistic and holistic manner. We are all committed to on-going professional development and integrating new perspectives and therapies is a part of essential continuing education.

Where do you start?

This short course is designed to provide an overview of a wide range of integrative therapies. It is important to research your training options before signing up for courses and remember that there is no single pathway to practice excellence. We hope that the information provided in this course will assist you to make informed choices and begin your journey to integrative veterinary medicine with confidence.

Please note that this is an evidence-based course delivered by qualified and experienced practitioners but is not an Australian government-accredited qualification.

What you won't need is to pay airfares, travel, hotel bills by participating in green education!

All our courses are available to enrol at any time.  Our courses are part time, self paced within the course timeframe, and fully online.  Sometimes there is a scheduled start date for a course, in which we accept a group intake of enrolments. This encourages a cohort of students to move through the course together, making for a more interactive learning experience.

Although some courses have live sessions available, there are no live sessions that you are required to attend for any of our courses.  Our courses are delivered online and are self paced within the course timeframe, to give you the greatest flexibility with your study. You can study anywhere, anytime that suits you. We have great learning tools such as lectures, comprehensive course notes, videos, online resources, discussion forum and continuous support from our highly qualified and experienced tutors to help you can get the most out of your course.

Please refer to our enrolment terms and conditions when seeking extra time in a course, https://civtedu.org/enrolment-terms-and-conditions 

If you take a "leave of absence/deferral" from a course this freezes your progress in the course.  You will have no access to the course during this time.  A request for a leave of absence/deferral can be made for up to 3 months, initially.  Longer periods of time away from the course can be reviewed after this time.  If you want to use any course resources whilst you are taking your leave of absence/deferral you will need to download the material (such as documents, course notes, reading material) beforehand.  There is no fee to take a leave of absence/deferral, however your regular payment instalments for the course will continue.

If you request an "extension" for a course, you may be given extra time in a course and still have full access to the course.  An extension can be granted for up to, or equal to, the maximal period of study for that course.  There is a fee involved in applying for an extension, this varies according to the amount of extra time requested and is found on the link provided.

 

This depends on the type of course you enrol in.

Our introductory or short courses require approximately 3-5 hours per week.  Our Certifications and Graduate Diplomas require approximately 5-10 hours per week.  This will vary amongst individuals, depending on the pace in which they learn.  More time may be needed each week, depending on how long an individual needs to spend on completing assignments. 

If you are a registered Veterinarian, you are eligible to enrol in any of our courses, https://civtedu.org/courses 

If you are a Veterinary Technician or Veterinary Nurse or Animal Health Professional you may be able to apply to enrol in selected courses for Veterinarians, however you will need to go through an eligibility process first. Otherwise, you can apply for our courses for Animal Health Professionals, https://civtedu.org/courses/animal-health-professionals 

If you are a Pet Owner, you can apply for our courses designed for Pet Owners, https://civtedu.org/courses/pet-owners
