Veterinary CE travels through immersive global adventures – professional learning with once-in-a-lifetime exploration.
We understand the increasing demand for modern veterinary medicine and the toll it takes on our veterinary professionals. You work long hours and experience a range of stressors, all while continuing to pursue education and knowledge to grow professionally. But… What if there was a uniquely inspired and adventurous way to develop your career? If earning Continuing Education (CE) credits didn’t have to happen in a windowless conference room? Imagine expanding your education on a mountain trail in Bhutan, a kayak in New Zealand, or while spotting elephants on the Serengeti.

A New Way to Learn: Beyond the Classroom
Traditional veterinary CE seminars often mean sacrificing your hard-earned vacation time to sit in a hotel conference room. But we believe that learning can be more effective—and far more enjoyable—when it happens in an exciting and inspiring way.
You can not only attend a morning lecture on wildlife disease surveillance, but follow that with an afternoon paddle through a Norwegian fjord or a jungle hike to a Costa Rican waterfall. Your surroundings become a natural extension of your learning experience.
We thoughtfully choose each destination not just for its beauty and outdoor recreation possibilities, but for the relevance to your veterinary experience—whether it’s marine ecology in Fiji, conservation medicine in Africa, or remote animal care in the Himalayas.
Destinations To Inspire While You Learn
We want your CE experience to be anything but ordinary. Here are examples of the unforgettable opportunities we offer:

Who Are These Trips For?
These programs are ideal for veterinarians who:
- Want to combine travel and education without compromising on either
- Prefer a hands-on, small-group setting with engaging instructors
- Are curious about international animal health, conservation, or field medicine
- Seek inspiration and rejuvenation outside the clinical routine
- Value cultural exchange and eco-conscious exploration
And you don’t have to be an ultra-athlete or seasoned adventurer to join. We design each trip with flexibility and accessibility in mind, offering activity level options and professional guides to ensure your safety and comfort.
More Than Adventure… Legitimate CE Credits!
Every Veterinary CE travel course is fully accredited through International Veterinary Seminars (IVS)—North America’s largest small group CE provider. You’ll earn CE credits (often 15–20 hours) while participating in relevant, up-to-date courses led by world-class veterinary instructors.
Topics range from companion animal medicine and clinical updates to emergency response and wilderness veterinary care. Plus, the interactive format of these seminars often sparks lasting professional connections and mentorship opportunities.
Adventure Together: Bring a Companion
While the CE content is tailored for veterinarians, non-veterinary companions are always welcome. Whether it’s a spouse, partner, or friend, your travel buddy can enjoy the same breathtaking destinations and activities while you attend your educational sessions.
Lectures are often scheduled around excursions and meals, so there’s plenty of time to reconnect, explore, and relax together. What Makes Veterinary CE Travel with Bio Bio and IVS So Unique?
- Expert Planning: With decades of experience, we craft seamless travel experiences that balance education, adventure, and comfort.
- Small Group Sizes: Enjoy close interaction with instructors and fellow travellers.
- Cultural Immersion: More than just sightseeing—connect with locals, explore hidden gems, and experience each destination authentically.
- Sustainable Travel: We prioritize eco-conscious choices, local partnerships, and minimal environmental impact.
- Unforgettable Memories: More than CE—these are memories you’ll treasure for the rest of your life.
