​​​How to Submit a CE Approval Request

1. Before submitting a request: 

• Check for RACE Approval. This can often be found on the Certificate Received for CEs you have already done and is usually advertised on CEs that you plan to take. RACE Approval is a process done by the American Association of State Veterinary Boards(AAVSB) that evaluates them for sufficiency to use for your registration renewals. Maryland Accepts all RACE approved CEs. DO NOT SUBMIT RACE APPROVED CEs for evaluation by the MD SBVME. 
  
• Check to see if your CE was provided by a local or regional Veterinary Medical Association. Maryland accepts CEs provided by Veterinary Medical Associations for use during the renewal period. 
• Check the Lists Below. Some CEs have already been reviewed and evaluated for sufficiency during registration. Please note​ the expiration date. CE's are only good for up to 2 years prior to the registration renewal date. This is calculated back from July 1st of the current year. I.E. If you are doing a FY25 renewal in 2024. CEs would be acceptable that were taken for 2 years prior to July 1st, 2024 or July 1st, 2022 through June 30th, 2024. If the CE you are planning to use is on the list below DO NOT SUBMIT for evaluation by the MD SBVME.
