The War between WVM and CAVM

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

 

The War between WVM and CAVM has started in earnest in Europe.

 

See this from http://www.ratbags.com/rsoles/history/2005/05may.htm

 

Kind regards,

Animals in Europe are a bit safer (7/5/2005)

 

Here is part of a media release from the European Board of Veterinary

Specialisation: In its meeting on April 16-17, 2005 the European Board

of Veterinary Specialisation (EBVS), an organisation which oversees

veterinary specialisation in Europe, has unanimously agreed on

incorporating the following statements in its Policies and Procedures

regarding supplementary, complementary and alternative medicine.

 

The veterinary profession received the prerogative for diagnosis and

treatment of animal diseases based on the assumption that

veterinarians are guided by scientific methods. The EBVS therefore only

recognises scientific, evidence-based veterinary medicine which

complies with animal welfare legislation.

 

Specialists or colleges who practice or support implausible treatment

modalities with no proof of effectiveness run the risk of withdrawal of

their specialist status.

 

No credit points can be granted for education or training in these so-

called supplementary, complementary and alternative treatment

modalities.

 

and

 

Failure of a college to comply with any of the Policies and Procedures of

the EBVS may lead to the withdrawal of provisional or full recognition.

 

I would appreciate it if you could inform the members of your

organisation regarding this matter.

 

It is rather ironic that ducks should be protected from quacks. I wonder

when we can expect the same protection against quackery and

unscientific nonsense to be extended to humans.
