CE for Vets and Vet Techs
wellness for good
As we all know, the veterinary profession can be challenging and stressful, having effects not only in our practice, but in our personal lives as well. To avoid burnout, depression and even suicide we must learn to take care of ourselves, and to make it a daily practice.
Wild Sun’s CE credit retreats emphasize wellness and self-care for vets and vet techs.
We currently offer 10 RACE approved credits designed to help you be a better, happier and more effective professional. We also include an introduction to veterinarian acupuncture. In addition we have medical courses pending for RACE approval which we hope to unveil in the coming year.
Our 6 night programs include 3 healthy meals a day, accommodation in beautiful ocean view rooms, daily yoga and meditation, field trips and down time to relax and enjoy the nature and beauty of Costa Rica!
