Do you have comments or concerns regarding the practice of veterinary medicine in Manitoba?
If so, please contact the MVMA’s Registrar, Corey Wilson.
To report suspected cases of livestock or pet animal cruelty, please contact the Provincial Animal Care line.
The Manitoba Veterinary Medical Association is governed by The Veterinary Medical Act. One of the provisions in the Act is the establishment of a Peer Review Committee (PRC) to receive and adjudicate complaints against MVMA members.
The MVMA encourages you to try to resolve any issues or concerns you may have directly with your veterinarian, as many can be simple misunderstandings or miscommunications. However, if that is not applicable or effective and you have a concern you feel may need to be resolved through the complaints process, please telephone the MVMA Registrar at 204-832-1276 extension 2.
The Registrar may be able to resolve your complaint through informal discussion. If that is not possible or advisable, you will be asked to submit a formal written complaint. The Registrar will provide you with a fillable form to complete and submit to the MVMA. Your complaint should include information detailing the events in question and your concerns, as well as any other relevant documents.
Please note that you are not required to speak to the Registrar before submitting your formal complaint.
Once the complaint is received the investigation and resolution process is as follows:
The entire process takes on average four to eight months from the time the written complaint is received.
