Veterinary Discipline: When Boards Fail to Protect Pets and Professionals
Update: 2024-11-27
Description
In this week's episode of The Veterinary Viewfinder, Dr. Ernie Ward and registered veterinary technician Beckie Mosser, MPA, RVT, dive into a hot-button issue in the veterinary profession: the effectiveness (or alleged lack) of state veterinary medical boards in addressing complaints and disciplining licensees. Inspired by a recent investigative report from North Carolina, this discussion examines whether veterinary professionals are being held accountable when complaints arise, how these cases impact public trust, and whether some complaints are going too far and harming veterinarians.
Dr. Ward and Beckie explore the legal framework governing veterinarians, the challenges of title protection, and the role of social media in shaping reputations. They also discuss how inconsistent or lax disciplinary actions by boards can harm the credibility of the profession and create a ripple effect across the veterinary community.
Whether you're a veterinary professional concerned about your license or a pet owner curious about oversight in veterinary medicine, this thought-provoking conversation sheds light on the accountability (or lack thereof) of the systems meant to protect pets, owners, and practitioners. Tune in to join the debate!
