Frequently Asked Questions

How does set up for the clinic packages work?

After a clinic package has been purchased the OPV team will email you with coupon codes for the rest of your clinic to register within 30 days. Each member must register with their own email address, this allows for certification and for them to receive their RACE® credits.

Can I transfer course access from one employee to another?

Seats in the course are non-transferable once set up.

How long do I have access to the course content?

Your access is for 1 year starting from the date of enrollment. After that, you may renew your membership annually in the course and community forum at a special renewal rate. If you are purchasing multiple seats, access for each user will begin on the date that each individual enrolls.

Will my membership renew automatically at the end of the 12 months?

No, you will be notified via the email when your renewal date is approaching and you will be asked to re-enroll at the special, lower renewal rate. If you choose to let your membership lapse, you will need to re-enroll at regular price if and when you want to regain access to the course or community forum.

How long are each of the videos?

We have designed the course with short, easy to take-in videos that are only 5-30 minutes.  Big blocks of time do not need to be scheduled. The videos can be watched during lunch break or when you have a few minutes of downtime.  

How often can I post in the community?

You can ask questions about cases, equipment, and expected outcomes as often as you like. Feel free to browse through the other questions that have been asked.

What do I need to take this course? Any special tools or supplies?

At a minimum, you will need a computer with stable internet in order to access the course and forum. That’s it! Having access to a laser while watching the videos is great, but not required.

I’m a pet parent - can I take this course?

While we love your enthusiasm and appreciate your interest in laser therapy for your pets, this course was designed solely for medical professionals and is not intended for use by pet parents without prior medical knowledge or experience. See our courses for pet parents!

Is this course only for those who already have lasers or have experience with laser therapy?

This course was created with all experience levels in mind. Whether you’ve been using laser therapy in your practice for years or you’re brand new to this modality and don’t own a machine yet, you will find the content accessible, engaging and life-changing for your patients. Having access to a laser while watching the videos is helpful, but not required.

Is this course applicable to my brand/class of laser?

Throughout the course, we cover inputs for multiple different laser manufacturers, as well as settings for all classes of laser. We did this intentionally to ensure that everyone enrolled in the course can achieve optimum results, no matter which machine they have!

How were sponsors selected for this course?

Our sponsors were carefully chosen by Dr. McCauley, herself, in order to achieve OPV’s educational objectives for this course. Optimum Pet Vitality will only ever partner with companies that share our commitment to quality, integrity, and improving the lives of pets everywhere.

Is this a RACE certified course?

Yes! Optimum Laser Therapy is RACE Approved for 20 CEUs. After watching all videos & scoring at least a 70% or higher on all quizzes, fill in your information in the last module. From there we will confirm you have passed the quizzes, verify your course completion, and email your certificate asap.

Can I speed through the course and finish it in one week?

Though we don’t recommend it, you could. You can listen to the lectures from 0.5 up to 2x speed. This allows you to slow it down to take notes or speed it up if it is something you already know but want to see if there are golden tidbits for you.

What if I don't pass the quizzes at the end of each section, will I still get my CE?

All quizzes need to be passed to obtain RACE credits, but don’t worry, the goal is to get you to learn, not stress out. If you do not pass a quiz, you can simply retake it until you do pass it.

What if I don't understand the material, how do I ask questions?

You can ask questions inside the course module, the OPV team will respond to you, or you can ask questions in the community and either your classmates or the OPV team will respond.

If I sign up, love the class, can I sign up the rest of my clinic team?

Absolutely, the more the merrier. We would sign them up as a group. We offer package discounts for 3 and 5 members.
