Hello MVMA Members,
We would like to remind members about the telemedicine program.
On February 4, 2022, the MVMA adopted a new by-law to allow for a VCPR to be established without a hands-on examination of an animal or without visiting the premises where the animal is kept in limited circumstances.
To be clear, the MVMA Telemedicine Permit only applies to Telemedicine files.
Telemedicine files: Patient files where a VCPR is established without a hands-on examination of an animal and/or visiting the premises where the animal is kept. This applies to both new and existing patients where there has not been a hands-on examination of an animal and/or visiting the premises where the animal is kept within the last 12 months.
Please note:
More information about the program can be found here.
The Canadian Animal Blood Bank’s first charity golf tournament was a resounding success due to the generous contributions from these Manitoba veterinary clinics. CABB could not have achieved the $18,100.00 raised to carry on our mission, without their support! Together, we save dogs’ lives!! Thank you!
