The importance of business and management skills for veterinary graduates are being increasingly recognized. This is particularly the case in our current economic environment and with the evolving business focus of veterinary practice. We are placing increasing emphasis on development of these skills within the veterinary curricular, however, it is essential there are additional opportunities for veterinarians to contine to grow and expand these important skills after graduation. I fully support the opportunity for veterinarians to obtain continuing education credit for non-clinical courses in these areas.
