Upon purchase of the Veterinary Practice Certification &#8211; General Practice product, each team member will be assigned a membership that gives them access to the individual Veterinary Professional Certification Program. This individual level membership provides the introductory knowledge and applicable benefits that are required to complete the initial step in the process. While completion of only the Veterinary Professional Certification is required, we encourage team members to complete additional courses to advance their skills and provide the highest level of care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Teams must then work together to implement the&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"#resources\">certification standards<\/a><\/strong>, within all aspects of care at the practice. An online assessment is completed in which standard operating protocols, SOPs, and medical records are evaluated by the Fear Free team. Additionally, patient handling techniques are observed through a virtual onsite visit or submission of recorded videos, to ensure all principles of Fear Free are utilized in an appropriate manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Certified Veterinary General Practices renew their practice level membership annually which in turn, renews all team members&#8217; memberships. Every three years, the practice must re-certify by successfully showcasing their advancing Fear Free skills through completion of an abridged certification process.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" id=\"steps\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column  padding-column-nopadding is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n  <ol class=\"flow-chart\">\n            <li  >\n          Team purchases the Veterinary Practice Certification Program &#8211; General Practice product                    <\/li>\n            <li  >\n          Individual team members become certified in a Veterinary Professional Certification Program                    <\/li>\n            <li  >\n          Team implements certification standards within the practice                    <\/li>\n            <li  >\n          Team completes self-assessment with required documents and completes a successful virtual onsite visit                    <\/li>\n            <li  >\n          Fear Free Veterinary General Practice Certification Achieved!                    <\/li>\n      <\/ol>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column has-palebutter-background-color has-background is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\" id=\"steps\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Requirements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Begin your path to becoming a Fear Free Certified Veterinary General Practice by purchasing the Veterinary Practice Certification Program &#8211; General Practice product, which includes practice program-specific memberships for all your staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the individual team members become certified, your practice can start implementing the <a href=\"#resources\">certification standards<\/a> and the Team Administrator(s) can work to complete the self-assessment through the Facility Certification Dashboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every three (3) years, your practice will complete a recertification process in which your team will update any previously submitted documents, provide any new standard operating procedure (SOPs), and provide recorded patient visits for review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have any questions or would like more information, please schedule a meeting by clicking the button below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/forms.monday.com\/forms\/9123b94cee3692e0f377d6037db888de?r=use1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Schedule A Meeting<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column has-mint-background-color has-background is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\" id=\"pricing\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pricing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Purchase the Veterinary Practice Certification Product below that best aligns with the size of your practice, based on the number of full-time equivalent (FTE) veterinarians on staff.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Corporate pricing may be available.
