As we all know, we are facing a severe veterinary professional shortage in all aspects of the profession. Providing some continuing education credits would certainly encourage and entice some professionals to explore these outlets for their talents. As a profession of action, many would prefer to do, rather than just sit and listen to obtain valuable CE. As a veterinarian with over 20+ years of private practice experience, I am forever in debt to the Norfolk SPCA for teaching me new surgical techniques, medical management of larger populations, public awareness of zoonosis, and opening my eyes to the very real struggle of pet overpopulation. Not for profit organizations would benefit immensely from any change in this direction. Traditional CE courses would still be required as well. It certainly seems like a win for everyone. I can’t even envision a downside.
