The Atlantic Veterinary College (University of Prince Edward Island) and the Ontario Vet College (University of Guelph) are conducting a study to enhance support for positive mental health in early-career veterinarians. The researchers are specifically interested in the transition period between graduation from veterinary school and the first few years of working as a veterinary practitioner. They will conduct one-on-one interviews with veterinarians within 15 years of graduation to inform the development of a well-being training tool that can be used by veterinarians to better navigate the first few years in practice.

The Unauthorized Practice Committee (UPC) is a standing committee created by the MVMA council. The UPC was created to protect the public by ensuring that only those that are licensed in Manitoba are providing veterinary services. The committee is compromised of dedicated experts that review and investigate reports of unauthorized practice and assess the level of risk posed by these reports and conduct of non-MVMA members.

The Unauthorized Practice Committee for small animals is currently in need of new members. If you are interested in joining this committee, or for more information about this committee, please contact Barb Kryzanowski, MVMA Interim Registrar, barbk@mvma.ca
