If you’ve ever found yourself digging through your inbox for that one CE certificate, wondering, “Wait, did I even attend that webinar??” — you’re not alone. When we asked the VETgirl community how you keep track of their CE hours, the answers varied widely: some keep a running list in their Notes app or mark completed CE in their calendar; others rely on Excel or Google spreadsheets; a few print out certificates and file them away in folders, binders, or notebooks; and some just hang on to paper copies without really organizing them at all. In short, everyone has a system — but most of them are clunky, stressful, and time-consuming. The biggest problem is, those methods usually work… until they don’t, and suddenly you’re being audited by your licensing board. ENTER: We’ve built tools to take the chaos out of CE tracking so you can stay focused on what matters — learning, growing, and caring for your patients. Here’s how: 1. AUTOMATIC UPLOADS, NO SWEAT Every time you earn CE with VETgirl, your certificates land automatically on your My Credits page. No manual entry, no forgotten certificates, no “Oops, I’ll do it later” (because let’s be real, later usually means never). 2. ALL YOUR CE IN ONE PLACE Got CE certificates from other sources? Upload them directly into your VETgirl account. Boom — everything’s stored together. And the best part? We keep it all safe for you forever . That’s right, lifetime storage of every certificate, whether you’re an active ELITE member or not. No more paper piles, Excel formulas, or late-night panic. VETgirl keeps your CE hours organized and stress-free.
3. SEE THE BIGGER PICTURE (LITERALLY)
Your MyVETgirl Dashboard comes tricked out with visual charts that break down your hours by subject matter and presentation type. You can filter by date, too — perfect for checking where you stand as renewal deadlines creep closer.
SPREADSHEETS BE GONE! “I use Excel to count up hours at the end of the year.” Our charts do the math for you, instantly breaking it down by subject matter and presentation type.
4. COMING SOON: YOUR CE SIDEKICK IN YOUR POCKET The new VETgirl Mobile App is on the way, and it’s about to change the way you track CE: • Smarter tracking – Log, organize, and filter CE like never before. • Custom license rules – Enter your state or specialty’s requirements and let the app do the heavy lifting to keep you in compliance. • Deadline reminders – Gentle nudges (before panic mode sets in) so you’ll never miss a renewal.
THE GREAT PAPER CHASE (RETIRED) “I print CE certificates and keep them in a folder.” Say goodbye to binders, boxes, and mystery piles. VETgirl keeps every certificate safe — forever.
CALENDAR CHAOS, CANCELED “I jot my CE hours down on my calendar.” Soon, the app will take care of that — and even send reminders before the clock runs out.
BOTTOM LINE? VETgirl takes CE tracking from “ugh” to ahhh . No more frantic hunts for paperwork, no more last-minute all-nighters before your license renewal — just peace of mind that you’re covered. So go ahead and keep on learning. VETgirl is keeping track.
