I would like to voice my strong support for changing the continuing education requirements for veterinarians.

Adding management continuing education will help existing practitioners as well as recent graduates to better serve their clients and patients.

As a frequent speaker at the Va/Md Veterinary School, the business topics are always extremely well attended.

Changing the current 15 hour requirement for CE to allow for 3-5 hours of management CE would be extremely helpful.

I am sure you have studied other state's CE requirements. Many require more than Va and most of those include a set number that can be management related. It will help our profession, its members, and especially the public that we serve.

Respectfully submitted,

Chuck Keiser, DVM
