SUGGESTIONS
FOR ACTION
FROM THE
SURVEY
Sixty percent of CVO Survey respondents felt that mandatory CE for veterinarians is
important. As well, over 30% of veterinarians felt that the CVO may have a role in the
review of prescribing of antibiotics, however, 50% disagreed with this approach and
18% had no opinion. Over 40% of respondents felt that the monitoring of veterinary
prescribing practises and antibiotic sales was an important consideration with a very
slightly higher percentage disagreeing, and 12% indicating they had no opinion (Figure
9).
Sixty percent of CVO Survey
respondents felt there should be
mandatory CE for veterinarians.
