President's Message

Welcome to summer,
Pandemic or not, the calendar (and sometimes the weather) says that summer is here. It’s still too early to know what the rest of the summer will be like. Will we travel? Will we have face-to-face meetings again soon? Will I bother to start wearing make-up again? So many questions for the future. 
Some time ago, I made a list of ideas to write about for each month. For June, I was going to write about post-finals life around the college, which usually means that the halls are abruptly empty.

At this time, the Board does not anticipate extending the deadline for completion of continuing education for veterinarians in the current triennial license renewal period (through June 30, 2020). However, the Board is lifting the 20-hour limit on distance (online) education courses for continuing education credit for veterinarians for the current license renewal period and reducing the required amount of continuing education hours from 60 to 50. Thus, a veterinarian will need only 50 hours of continuing education during the current triennial license renewal period (through June 30, 2020) in order to renew his/her license. Read the entire proclamation here.

In conjunction with Governor's Reynolds March 17 Proclamation of Emergency Disaster, The Iowa Board of Veterinary Medicine is suspending enforcement of the establishment of Veterinarian/client/patient relationships (VCPR) by telephonic or electronic communication for companion animals.  This allows for Iowa veterinarians to temporarily use telemedicine to see companion animals without a previously established VCPR.  This suspension does not apply to the provision of veterinary services for livestock.  Read the entire proclamation here.
