The GARD Conference was approved to qualify for continuing education units (CEU) for workshops and sessions with scientific talks. Below is the approved credit for veterinary medicine and biological sciences.

In-person Participants: Will be given a GARD Conference sheet (available at registration desk) to check which events are attended.

Virtual Participants: Will be emailed the GARD Conference CEU sheet and will do the same. Online participants should correspond with Dr. Deb Miller (dmille42@utk.edu) regarding their attendance.

Biological Sciences: (as approved by The Wildlife Society (TWS). NOTE: The Ecological Society of America (ESA) accepts any continuing education conference approved by TWS). These credits can be used for continuing education requirements for TWS and ESA certification.

TWS: 1 CEU for every hour of presentation or workshop attend (i.e., up to 25 CEUs). TWS also approved GARD field trips for continue education: 1 CEU for every 3 hours of field trips attended.
