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.

Online Test
The Online Test encompasses 200 questions (True/False)
related to the foreign animal diseases listed in The
Gray Book. Upon completion and online submission of the test,
individuals with a passing grade of 75% or above will receive a certificate of completion by
Humanitarian Resource Institute.
Fee: $50.00 processing fee, required for validation:
certificate of completion.
Continuing
Education Units (CEUs)
Humanitarian
Resource Institute's work associated with 192 Member
States 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.
