Topic: Georgia Veterinary Practice Act (LEAP CE)
This session will go over the basic elements of the practice act, including establishing the veterinarian-client-patient relationship, record and advertising requirements, the standard of professional care, facility and posting requirements, and new changes and cases related to veterinary care. The session is interactive, with audience engagement and real life examples of how to comply and some cases where veterinarians did not. At the end of this session you should feel comfortable with the basic requirements and changes to the GVPA.
