PRESIDENTrsquoS MESSAGEI am honored to take office as your new president A special thank you

goes to Dr Jim Kanzler for outstanding leadership this past year We send him back to Denise and Alex with congratulations for a job well done Thank you both for sharing him with us

As you can see in the following pages we had another very successful Annual Conference in Tampa Dr Ernest Godfrey and the FVMA staff assembled an outstanding group of speakers on topics of interest to all com‑panion animal practices It is always good to see old friends and make new ones but it is the quality of the program that drives this successful event

One of my first duties was to attend the Sophomore Coating Ceremony at the University of Florida My role was to present two students with scholarships in the name of Dr Don Morgan He has done so much for organized veterinary medicine and is a very deserving honoree

Our association is involved with all four classes at the College of Veterinary Medicine Each class gets special recognition during the year and no student graduates without knowing the FVMA has touched their veterinary education My point is this is an example of a program that was started several years ago and has grown as opportunities were presented We serve as a model for the other states A new addition to the program this year was a panel discussion in a mentoring format instituted by Dr Kanzler These students are bright engaged articulate and enthusiastic about their chosen profession They appreciate the history of veterinary medicine and want to do their part in the future

As I look back on my career as a practicing veterinarian I also look forward to what the pro‑fession will become Veterinary medicine is always in transition The issues of today are different than the issues of 10 20 or 30 years ago Looking back the past doesnrsquot seem as daunting as the future seems to be The current issues are not better or worse only different Our profession will always be an evolutionary one

We have seen changes in the FVMA and its membership also We represent more members and an increasing diversity of interests Trying to keep all aspects of the profession together under one roof is complex but that is one of our fundamental goals I ask that you attend your regional meetings and make your leaders aware of your concerns Why not become one of those leaders

The FVMA Executive Board Mr Philip Hinkle and I are aware that information and ideas need to flow up from the regional associations We are committed to this concept and are avail‑able to facilitate the flow of information Please use the process and we will have a productive year

ORLANDO ndash The Florida Department of Agriculture and Con‑sumer Services (FDACS) and the USDA remind veterinarians to sign their rabies certificates

It was brought to the attention of the two organizations by shipping brokers that several rabies certificates have recently been submitted without signatures According to the USDA ldquothese unsigned rabies certificates primarily have been accompanied with health certificates (as that is who the shipping broker deals with) but it raised concerns if the same veterinarians who arenrsquot signing the rabies certificates for health certificates are also not signing the rabies certificates of clients who are not traveling abroadrdquo

ldquoI think the problem is a failure of the practice to furnish the veterinarian with the printed certificate at the time of vaccine administration and to make sure that it is signed or stampedrdquo said Dr Sam R Lamb FDACS Bureau of Animal Disease Control Vet‑erinarian Manager Small Animal Programs ldquoThis would poten‑tially be a liability issue or a violation of the Florida Rabies Lawrdquo

Below is a reprint of Florida Statutes Section 82830(3)

(3) Upon vaccination against rabies the licensed veterinarian shall provide the animals owner and the animal control authority with a rabies vaccination certificate Each animal control author-ity and veterinarian shall use the Rabies Vaccination Certificate of the National Association of State Public Health Veterinarians (NASPHV) or an equivalent form approved by the local govern-ment that contains all the information required by the NASPHV Rabies Vaccination Certificate The veterinarian who administers the rabies vaccine to an animal as required under this section may affix his or her signature stamp in lieu of an actual signature

ldquoAs you can see either an actual signature or a signature stamp is requiredrdquo Dr Lamb said

Proud Supporter of

PRESIDENTrsquoS MESSAGEI am honored to take office as your new president A special thank you

goes to Dr Jim Kanzler for outstanding leadership this past year We send him back to Denise and Alex with congratulations for a job well done Thank you both for sharing him with us

As you can see in the following pages we had another very successful Annual Conference in Tampa Dr Ernest Godfrey and the FVMA staff assembled an outstanding group of speakers on topics of interest to all com‑panion animal practices It is always good to see old friends and make new ones but it is the quality of the program that drives this successful event

One of my first duties was to attend the Sophomore Coating Ceremony at the University of Florida My role was to present two students with scholarships in the name of Dr Don Morgan He has done so much for organized veterinary medicine and is a very deserving honoree

Our association is involved with all four classes at the College of Veterinary Medicine Each class gets special recognition during the year and no student graduates without knowing the FVMA has touched their veterinary education My point is this is an example of a program that was started several years ago and has grown as opportunities were presented We serve as a model for the other states A new addition to the program this year was a panel discussion in a mentoring format instituted by Dr Kanzler These students are bright engaged articulate and enthusiastic about their chosen profession They appreciate the history of veterinary medicine and want to do their part in the future

As I look back on my career as a practicing veterinarian I also look forward to what the pro‑fession will become Veterinary medicine is always in transition The issues of today are different than the issues of 10 20 or 30 years ago Looking back the past doesnrsquot seem as daunting as the future seems to be The current issues are not better or worse only different Our profession will always be an evolutionary one

We have seen changes in the FVMA and its membership also We represent more members and an increasing diversity of interests Trying to keep all aspects of the profession together under one roof is complex but that is one of our fundamental goals I ask that you attend your regional meetings and make your leaders aware of your concerns Why not become one of those leaders

The FVMA Executive Board Mr Philip Hinkle and I are aware that information and ideas need to flow up from the regional associations We are committed to this concept and are avail‑able to facilitate the flow of information Please use the process and we will have a productive year
