I am in support of the petition to allow a small number of practice management CE hours to be used toward our required CE credit.  The purpose of the our CE requirement is to keep veterinarians up to date in medicine and help them do a better job treating animals.  Many practice management CE course focus on improving the practice to do a better job treating animals and providing better services.  Just like the importance of veterinary wellness and the link between mental health of veterinarians and patient care, without good management patient care suffers.  I hope the board will consider this petition.
