In support of CE increase
 

I am in full support of increasing the CE requirements from 6 to 8!  I feel that in our profession, we should want to stay on top of and learn new ideas, trends, and treatments in veterinary medicine.  Virginia currently requires fewer hours than most other states and we should remain competitive with other LVT/RVTs in the US.  Two additional hours should not be hard to aquire due the number of CE meetings from regional VMAs and  the VALVT regions, online CE and other sources such as specialty hospitals.
