VETgirl pushes mobile CE as a 2026 veterinary innovation theme

VETgirl is using the start of 2026 to make a broader point about where veterinary medicine is headed: more mobile, more on-demand, and more tightly tied to digital continuing education. In recent podcast and blog content, co-founders Dr. Justine Lee and Dr. Garret Pachtinger highlighted technology as a practical driver of change, while also promoting the newly available VETgirl Vital app, which brings webinars, podcasts, offline learning, CE tracking, certificates, and community features into one mobile platform. VETgirl says the app is now available for iOS and Android and is designed to fit learning into the pace of clinical work. (marketing.vetgirlontherun.com)

Why it matters: For veterinary professionals, this isn’t just a product launch story. It reflects a bigger industry shift toward flexible, app-based education that can support license maintenance, team training, and retention in a workforce still dealing with burnout and career pressure. The AAVSB’s RACE framework continues to set the standard for approved veterinary CE, and the organization also points licensees to digital tools for tracking and submitting CE. At the same time, AVMA and NAVTA materials have continued to frame technology, technician utilization, and better access to education as part of the profession’s response to workforce strain and efficiency challenges.
