KNACK Tracks FAQs

-
What makes KNACK Tracks different from regular CE?
KNACK Tracks are built for skill development, not just attendance. You’ll practice, get feedback, and demonstrate competency with an assessment. Once you've passed the assessment, you'll have a KNACK for the skill that you can add to your resume and/or professional social media profiles.
-
Who should take a KNACK Track?
Anyone looking to learn and reinforce a relevant skill in vet med, including:
- New grads needing hands-on experience
- GPs expanding their skillset
- Experienced vets wanting a refresher -
How hands-on is the experience?
Very. You’ll spend extended time practicing skills, repeating techniques, and getting direct feedback from instructors.
-
How small are the groups?
KNACK Tracks are intentionally limited with a small instructor-to-participant ratio, allowing for real one-on-one guidance and coaching.
-
What do I earn at the end?
You’ll receive RACE-Approved CE credits, and if you meet competency standards, you'll receive a KNACK badge that reflects demonstrated competence.
Not only that, but if someone asks about your skills, you can let them know you've got a KNACK for that!
