Certified Canine Rehabilitation Assistant (CCRA) Certification

The abilities in rehabilitation possessed by veterinary assistants with CCRA certification make them an indispensable part of the rehabilitation team.

About CCRA Certification Modules

The three modules that comprise the CCRA certification provide you with the foundational knowledge of anatomy, soft tissue therapy techniques, physical modalities, knowing when and how to progress exercises, and, most importantly, when to alert your supervising CCRT of any issues. Finally, you finish up the certification with your 40-hour internship in an existing rehabilitation practice.

FAQs

CRI’s certification programs are recognized by the American Association of Veterinary State Boards (AAVSB) and RACE approved.
