In support of petition
 

I am in favor of the petition allowing practice management seminars to count for continuing education credit.  For more seasoned practitioners, or younger practitioners interested in management/ownership, practice management is just as important, if not even more so, than clinical education.  

Veterinarians typically receive very little business trainiing in school, so it is up to them to seek this out on their own.  As more and more small animal practices are consolidated by corporations it becomes even more necessary for individual owners to become more adept at business management.
