Board funds NCVEI core competency projects

摘要

Executive Board members unanimously showed their confidence in the economic blueprint the National Commission onVeterinary Economic Issues is charting by investing a substantial amount of membership dues in NCVEI projects designed to strengthen the core competencies of the profession. The board approved an expenditure of 205,369 dollar to fund a proposal from the NCVEI Work Group on Strategies To Increase the Skills, Knowledge, Aptitude, and Attitude of Veterinarians. The overall purpose of this initiative is to improve the skills, knowledge aptitude, and attitude (SKA) across the spectrum, from students in the preveterinary curriculum to veterinarians. AVMA President James H. Brandt spoke fervently in support of the measure."The positive benefits of this financial support will be so great to AVMA that they will be hard to count. We can show industry, media, every allied association and the public that veterinarians support the work being done by the NCVEI."
