Veterinary Continuing Education and the 2026 Conference

Alongside our postgraduate certification programs, the Healing Oasis Wellness Center runs continuing education for licensed professionals who already work in veterinary spinal manipulation, rehabilitation and integrative animal care. CE contact hours are available, with approvals including the AHVMA, an AVMA-HOD-recognized organization.

CE seminars

Our seminar series runs through the year and is aimed at practitioners who have already completed postgraduate training in veterinary spinal manipulation or rehabilitation. Recent and recurring subjects include:

  • Applied Kinesiology for Veterinary Practice. Open to licensed DCs and DVM/VMDs who have completed postgraduate training in VSMT or animal chiropractic.
  • Cranio-sacral Adjusting Techniques with Applied Kinesiology. Open to licensed DC, DVM, VMD, RVT, LVT and CVT professionals who have completed a veterinary spinal manipulation or rehabilitation program.

Both require proof of a current, unexpired license and a certificate of attendance from prior training. Dates are announced ahead of each offering on our events calendar.

Veterinary acupuncture as a module series

Our Veterinary Acupuncture Certification runs as five sections across the academic year rather than as a single block, so practitioners can train without stepping away from their practice for weeks at a time. Sections alternate between online-live and face-to-face, and each face-to-face section carries extensive hands-on clinical practicums with canine and equine patients.
