Things to Know About Your License in Wisconsin

OnDemand Video Coming Soon!

The Veterinary Examining Board defines professional standards and regulatory policies for veterinarians and veterinary technicians in Wisconsin. However, many license holders don't understand how the VEB impacts their daily practice and how to stay in compliance. Join Melissa Mace, Executive Director of the VEB, to learn more about what the VEB does, how to get your questions answered, how the complaint process works, and what to do if a complaint is filed against you.

This session will be moderated by Dr. Robert Forbes, a past chair of the VEB.

Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions, but specific cases will not be discussed or laws interpreted.
