Equine veterinarians practice in an increasingly difficult environment with a public that has changing expectations of the services provided. In addition, a veterinarian must pass a national board exam and then pass state licensing regulations in each state in which they choose to practice. Accordingly, the equine veterinarian has a higher risk of facing either an administrative licensing complaint or civil litigation due to the value of horses.
Join sport horse practitioner Dr. Lori Bidwell along with Dr. Cynthia MacKenzie and attorney Michael Casey, both representing AVMA Trust, for a discussion of some of the nuances between states as well as some unusual claims.
