re: oppose reducing or changing CE requirements for veterinarians in spay neuter or rabies clinics
 

I oppose reducing or changing CE requirements for veterinarians or technicians simply because they are working at spay neuter clinics or rabies clinics.  That work does not reduce the need that every working veterinarian has to stay current in our field.  It is insulting to suggest that those veterinarians or technicians neither need nor want the CE to provide good care.  CE is readily and inexpensively available and an average of 1-2 hours a month is easy and essential.  If the point of this resolution was to express gratitude or ease the burden on hardworking veterinarians providing essential low cost care, then consider other gestures (eligibility to count their work as a charitable tax deduction if they are volunteering?).
