Dr. Lawrence recently attended the American Association of Veterinary State Boards (AAVSB) conference in Charlestown, SC. Representatives from thirty-four state boards along with several deans or past deans of various veterinary schools were in attendance. This meeting allows these individuals to explore upcoming challenges in veterinary medicine and their implications on the licensing of qualified individuals in each state with subsequent ramifications on the mission statement of the licensing boards which is to protect the public from unqualified individuals. From a discussion of the differences of the generations (the Traditionalists, the Baby Boomers, Generation X and the Millenniums) to unlicensed lay practice to changes in traditional veterinary education, the attendees were all challenged to share ideas and open their minds to the rigors ahead. There was a two hour interactive discussion of the legal challenges of practice which emphasized the need for good record keeping, excellent client communication, and concern for the welfare of the animal. Everyone in attendance took home the directive to inform and involve the veterinarians of their respective states.
During the meeting Dr. Lawrence was elected to serve on the board of directors for AAVSB. This meeting allowed for networking with others and the forging of new friendships. Dr. Lawrence looks forward to the year ahead as a director of AAVSB along with his responsibilities to the people of Minnesota as he serves on the Minnesota Board of Veterinary Medicine.
