Fear Free Veterinary Certification Course

Course overview

As veterinary professionals, we understand the emotional demand of the veterinary field, and we know the impact that stress and anxiety can have on our patients, our team, and our practices. Our goal: Provide veterinary professionals with the tools and knowledge to address different levels of fear, anxiety, and stress; improve client communication; and increase workplace safety. Fear Free veterinary visits reduce fear, anxiety, and stress and create an experience that is more enjoyable and safer for all involved, including your patients, clients, and team. Learning how to implement Fear Free visits means veterinary teams will see their patients more often, and pet owners will seek advice from them as a trusted source. This program consists of eight modules, which will need to be taken in consecutive order. Each module will end with an exam which needs to be successfully completed prior to moving on to the next module. Progress on work can be saved at any time, giving participants the flexibility to self-pace throughout the program. When all eight modules have been completed, the participant will be awarded with a Fear Free certificate.
