RACE STATUS

The RACE committee has only approved part of the 2009 courses. The AHVMA appealed their decision. The AAVSB website states that the appeal will be reviewed by the AAVSB. However, in their reply which was received after the 2010 AHVMA meeting, they indicated that they just refer it back to the RACE committee.  Click on  CE Crisis to get the details. Click on Courses approved by RACE in 2009 to get a list of the specific courses that were approved by RACE for 2009. Note that there seem to be some strange omissions. One example: the first of 3 lectures on Equine Dentistry discussing the importance of the TMJ in equine dental disease. (The other 2 were approved.)

 The Kentucky state board approved 101 units of the 2010 meeting for CEUs for veterinarians. Click here for a copy of their approval letter.

The AVCA, AVH, and IVAS approved all pertinent courses in the 2010 meeting that meet their needs for continuing certification in each of their modalities. Click on  2010 Courses approved for Certification to see a list of courses approved by each of these groups.
 

Forming a state holistic veterinary organization

In California, there is already a process in place to form a new organization that is recognized by the state association. In order to be able to present continuing education that the state of California will offer credits for, an association must be a member of the California Veterinary Medical Association (CVMA) House of Delegates. Those who sign the petition must be members of the CVMA. The CVMA does not care how many non-CVMA members are included in the organization, as long as they have 25 CVMA members to start the organization, and maintain 20 CVMA members once the organization is accepted.
