Did you know that there are three accredited distance RVT programs in Canada and more in the USA? Distance RVT programs are great for those in rural areas and those with excellent staff in practice that want to continue working while attending school. Some programs have rolling enrollment which means starting school sooner and many allow for practicums to be completed in their current practice. For more information:

In an effort to help animal owners access veterinary services within Manitoba, the CVO is hoping to compile a list of veterinary clinics and the corresponding veterinarians who treat some of the lesser-served species, which could then be shared with animal owners at educational events taking place in the future. Please complete this form to have your name/ your clinics name added to the list.
It’s that time once again. Western College of Veterinary Medicine (WCVM) is calling for a representative from the Manitoba Veterinary Medical Association to participate in the 2023 WCVM admissions interview process. It would be of value to have a representative from a rural/mixed animal practice or background. All WCVM interviews will be held online using Zoom with dates for Manitoba interviews set for May 1-5 and May 29-June 2, 2023.
Each year, representatives from each provincial veterinary medical association are invited to participate as members of the interview panel for their respective province which has a significant benefit to the selection process. Ideally, each representative will be able to participate in both weeks of interview dates. Anyone interested is invited to contact Sabina at the MVMA via email at sabina@mvma.ca. The deadline for application is Thursday, January 12th, 2023.
