The Board first introduced the plan at the Strategic Planning Session in October 2023. The plan outlines the mission, vision, and values for VMB, as well as various objectives for the upcoming year. The goals span five topic areas, including: (1) customer service; (2) licensing and examinations; (3) enforcement; (4) legislation and regulations; and (5) outreach. The Board discussed some of the plan\u2019s specific objectives at the April meeting, with Objectives 4.9, 4.11, and 3.5 being a few of the more notable changes since VMB\u2019s 2019 Sunset Review.<\/p>\n<p>Objective 4.11 would pursue legislation to repeal VMB\u2019s authority to approve continuing education (CE) courses and providers. In its <a href=\"https:\/\/perma.cc\/H8PV-6M63\">2019 Sunset Review Report<\/a>, VMB stated that the Board delegates CE provider and course approval to a subcommittee of its national regulatory agency, the American Association of Veterinary State Boards (AAVSB). At the April meeting, VMB\u2019s Executive Officer, Jessica Sieferman, stated that due to this delegation, VMB has little to no part in proactively approving CE matters. She expressed her belief that Objective 4.11 would remove the \u201cmisconception\u201d that VMB itself is actively involved in CE approval.<\/p>\n<p>Objective 4.9 would similarly pursue legislation to repeal the requirement that Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT) programs obtain the Board\u2019s approval to operate in California. Dr. Noland voiced concern over repealing authority entirely. Sieferman reported that she felt there would be \u201cno extra consumer protection benefit\u201d in maintaining VMB authority due to the Bureau for Private and Postsecondary Education\u2019s current oversight of RVT programs.<\/p>\n<p>Objective 3.5 seeks to \u201cdevelop specific disciplinary guidelines for RVTs and the Veterinary Assistant Controlled Substances Permit (VACSP).\u201d Sieferman stated that the purpose behind this objective is to lessen the disciplinary guidelines for RVTs and veterinary assistants due to the oversight inherent in their positions. It is unclear how exactly the disciplinary guidelines would change. In its 2019 Sunset Review, VMB did not treat RVTs or veterinary assistants differently than other practitioners when reporting on disciplinary actions and measures. At the time, VMB reported an increase in filed disciplinary accusations, with an average of 23 more accusations per year since the prior Sunset Review.<\/p>\n<p>VMB\u2019s president, Dr. Bradbury, requested a motion to adopt the Strategic Plan for 2024\u20132025. Dr. Noland moved, and Dr. Grant seconded the motion. There was no public comment on the motion, which carried unanimously.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-follow synved-social-size-32 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-facebook nolightbox\" data-provider=\"facebook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Follow us on Facebook\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/CPILUSD\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:32px;height:32px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Facebook\" title=\"Follow us on Facebook\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-follow\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\" style=\"display: inline;width:32px;height:32px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.sandiego.edu\/cpil-blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/addons\/extra-icons\/image\/social\/circle\/64x64\/facebook.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-follow synved-social-size-32 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-twitter nolightbox\" data-provider=\"twitter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Follow us on Twitter\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/cpilusd\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:32px;height:32px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"twitter\" title=\"Follow us on Twitter\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-follow\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\" style=\"display: inline;width:32px;height:32px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.sandiego.edu\/cpil-blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/addons\/extra-icons\/image\/social\/circle\/64x64\/twitter.png\" \/><\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Caroline Bulger At its April 18, 2024 meeting, the Veterinary Medical Board (VMB) moved to adopt the Strategic Plan for 2024\u20132025.
