Upon reflection and review of the current continuing education requirements the Board has determined that certain modifications are required to more appropriately address those areas of critical concern which have a direct impact upon the consumers of veterinary services. Consequently, the number of hours required for the topic of dispensing legend drugs has been reduced while the number of hours required for the topic of laws and rules has been expanded. The Board has also proposed that a limited number of credit hours in the topic area of laws and rules may be obtained once every two years by attending one full day of a Board of Veterinary Medicine meeting.
