I am signing the petition to accept continuing education courses in business management and finance to count in the annual continuing education requirements for veterinarians and LVT's. 

Business management is very important with respect to veterinary medicine.  Good management is crucial to have to create a good practice team which helps with client compliance and therefore patient care.  Financial matters are also important to know as well, since they can directly affect the outcome of the success of a practice - especially since most veterinary practices are small businesses and things are changing rapidly with small businesses.
