Continuing Education
MU Outreach and Extension serves the people
and institutions of the state. Veterinary medical extension
faculty and staff interact with college faculty and the university
community to plan and deliver educational programs.
Veterinary Medical Extension provides opportunities
for continuing education for practicing veterinarians and
the general public. The objective is to increase the professional
competence of veterinarians and improve the quality of veterinary
medicine.
Continuing professional education activities
include articles in newsletters, guide sheets, conferences,
seminars, and short courses. A mid-career program is conducted
to give in-depth individualized training in special areas
to practicing veterinarians or those veterinarians changing
their focus.
Veterinary Medical Extension works in conjunction
with their Extension colleagues throughout the state to acquaint
owners of food producing and companion animals to current
medical services and principles of preventive medicine. Information
regarding disease problems is presented to animal owners and
allied interest groups in several ways, including phone consultation,
field investigative visits, seminars, and newsletters. Group
meetings on general subjects are requested by, or scheduled
through, area and state extension specialists. Participants
are encouraged to ask questions and to relate their experiences
and problems. Local practicing veterinarians also are invited
to attend and participate in these programs. Veterinary Medical
Extension strives to provide the practicing veterinarian and
general public with the latest information available.
