Client Consent and Communications (1 hour)

Learn more-enroll today!

Communication is critical to ensuring valid client consent. It’s more than a form, and is rather a shared decision-making process between the veterinarian and the client. Learn how veterinarians can enhance their ability to communicate with clients to determine the best course of action for their animals while respecting the veterinarian-client-patient relationship and human-animal bond, and fulfilling the principles of consent. This program has been approved for 1 hour of continuing education credit in jurisdictions which recognize RACE approval and VHMA.


"Really professional and I love the way it is organized."
