Dr. Venit at Midwest Veterinary Conference

This past weekend, the AAVSB’s own Dr. Beth Venit was in Columbus, Ohio at the Midwest Veterinary Conference! Dr. Venit presented on basic aspects of the complaint process and Spectrum of Care from the regulator’s perspective. AKA: “how to stop worrying and love your board.” She made some great connections and cleared up some common misperceptions that cause looming worry for many veterinary professionals. The AAVSB is excited to keep the ball rolling at more conferences in 2024!

VMX 2024 was the show of shows! We had great conversations with veterinary professionals, made connections with new faces(some with paws🐾🥰), and saw the impact our resources make. We look forward to keeping the conversation going throughout 2024 at more conferences! #NAVC #vmx2024 #aavsb
