Who Is It For?

The 2016 CIVT On-line Conference is for veterinarians and veterinary technicians/nurses who

have an interest in and/or practice holistic veterinary medicine. The veterinary community is

perfectly positioned to link the important concepts of animal health, conservation, human

health and environmental sustainability helping to lead

the way to a brighter future of “sustainable Health

Care”. The theme of One Health is the focus for the

2016 CIVT On-line Conference and we aim to expand

the reach and impact of our Healing Community as we

explore the power of natural agents, used in balanced

and intelligent ways, to create, transform, maintain and

recover health.

How Does It Work?

Live lectures will be scheduled at specific times over the period of October 21st to October 26th.

As the conference has a global audience, the schedule will be provided in a number of time zone

alternatives, but you may need to convert this for your particular place of residence. All confer-

ence registrants will receive a unique login which allows them to access the ‘conference

hall’ (within myCIVT). At the time of lectures you log-in and click appropriate links to access live

lectures.

ALL LECTURES ARE RECORDED! Within a few hours of the live presentation, a link to the record-

ing will be available in the ‘conference hall’. These recordings will be available for 12weeks until

January 6th, 2017. You can watch and re-watch lectures any time during this period - at times

that suit YOU.

3

What About Questions?

Because the live lecture schedule is quite tight, we provide an on-line forum where you can post

questions and receive a written response. These will be able to be viewed by all conference par-

ticipants and are an excellent resource and discussion area. The forum will be closed from De-

cember 23rd until January 3rd.

Is It Valid for Continuing Education Credits?

You need to check CE acceptance with your state board. All lectures will be CIVT accredited and

11 hours will have RACE accreditation (you will be required to answer some multiple choice

questions to gain RACE CE hours). There will also be IVAS accredited lectures.

Affordability and Convenience

At just $249USD (cheaper than 2015) for CIVT full veterinary and associate members the confer-

ence is great value. The major bonus - you can access the lectures, at home or work, at a time

that suits you (MP4 format).

Please consider a $10 donation when you register—CIVT will match this amount and donate the

total to American Holistic Veterinary Medical Foundation in November.
