Continuing Education
V-Learning Community offers virtual Learning events on Meetup and Facebook. The materials from these events, along with some extras are posted here.
Instructions: click through topic slides to see videos (slide 2) and activity (slide 3) used during the virtual event, along with additional resources on some topics (slide 4).
Click the topics in the Table of Contents to jump to that section.
We try to include videos from YouTube that are not highly graphic of animal suffering, in-depth heart surgery, etc., but there are on occasion somewhat graphic images in order to tell the story, and everyone has a different sensitivity level.
Therefore, please use your own discretion.
If you're starting new and would like more foundational resources, please explore the Online Starter Kit.
