This page provides a link to the Emerging and Exotic Diseases of Animals (EEDA) and USDA Initial Accreditation Training (IAT) course. The Emerging and Exotic Diseases of Animals course and accompanying textbook are being used by most U.S. veterinary colleges/schools. The course helps prepare veterinarians to recognize and respond appropriately to foreign animal diseases and also contains the required online lessons for Initial Accreditation Training. Students seeking access to their institution’s version of the EEDA/IAT course can view the instructions for registration and begin the registration process by selecting the button below.
