Emilie Cautaert

I am originally from Belgium, but I moved to Canada in 2012. What started as a one-year work assignment grew into a lasting new chapter. Since then, I have lived and worked in Western Canada. I studied Industrial Engineering in Leuven and subsequently gained experience in project management, planning, and operations, where I was responsible for coordinating, structuring, and implementing complex projects.

At Online Vet Training (OVT), I hold the role of Learning Program Manager. In this position, I am responsible for the full coordination and implementation of our continuing education programs. I am the central point of contact for our instructors, ensure smooth collaboration, and monitor the quality and consistency of the content. Additionally, I guide the accreditation process with the Order and other bodies, and ensure that our courses meet the required quality and recognition criteria. My focus is on efficiently organizing and further optimizing our programs so that we can offer practice-oriented and high-quality training to veterinarians.

Besides my professional activities, my daily life largely revolves around my two young children. However, I do enjoy making time for a walk or hike, and we look forward to future ski trips as a family. We also love going camping and are already planning new trips.

In my free time, I enjoy being creative, spending time with friends, and happily immersing myself fully in projects that pique my interest, often for a little longer than originally planned. I also bring that curiosity and drive to figure things out and improve them to my work at OVT.
