Committee on Humane Euthanasia (COHE):
The Committee on Humane Euthanasia is established for the purpose of training, examining, and certifying euthanasia agencies and euthanasia technicians.

Certified Euthanasia Agency (CEA):  
A certified euthanasia agency is a law enforcement agency, an animal control agency, a humane society, or an animal shelter that has been inspected and certified by the Committee on Humane Euthanasia or the Idaho Board of Veterinary Medicine (Board). To become a CEA, the agency must contact the Board and request an application. Once certified, the CEA must register with the Idaho Board of Pharmacy (BOP) and the US Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) and apply for controlled substance licenses.

Certified Euthanasia Technician (CET):  
A certified euthanasia technician is a person that has fulfilled the certification requirements and has been certified by the Idaho Board of Veterinary Medicine to perform euthanasia as an employee of the certified euthanasia agency. To become a CET, the CEA’s Lead CET must request an application from the Board of Veterinary Medicine. Once certified, the CET must register with the Idaho Board of Pharmacy (BOP) and apply for a controlled substance license using the CEA’s DEA control substance license.

**Information about Board of Pharmacy controlled substance registration can be found here.
