Abstract

The general veterinary practitioner is the heart and soul of our professional oath. Unlike no other in our profession, the general practitioner effectively divides their focus on protection of animal heath, conservation of animal resources, promotion of public health and advancement of the application of medical knowledge to the betterment of the communities in which they live. The general practitioner is the rock on which our profession stands.
