The VCPR – To Change or Not To Change? / February 4 @ 4:45-6:15PM / Open to ALL IVMA MEMBERS

The IVMA Forum is offered as an opportunity for IVMA members and industry leaders to come together to discuss, learn and ask questions regarding issues and opportunities of import to veterinary medicine.  The IVMA Forum will focus on the veterinarian – client – patient relationship – the VCPR.  The VCPR is at the heart of the connection between the veterinarian, the client and the patient.  Should this definition be changed to allow for the establishment of the VCPR virtually, or do we keep the current law which states that the animal must be “seen” to establish the VCPR? Come and participate in the conversation. You don’t have to be a registered attendee of the meeting to participate.
