Current Problems of the Profession

Abstract

One of the reasons I'm pleased to be here and to be invited to other constituent and allied groups is to establish better communications between you the practitioners and the AVMA which is your national organization. It's been said that the AVMA sits in its ivory tower in Schaumburg and doesn't care about the practicing veterinarians and their problems. I'd like to squelch that idea-the AVMA does care, and we can help the profession only if we get around and talk to you about our mutual difficulties.
