Veterinary acupuncture, herbal medicine & osteopathic/chiropractic medicine?

[Guest guest]

Hi Sharon Green,

 

The EBVS [European Board of Veterinary Specialisation] page at

http://www.ebvs.org/index.php?Page=pdf/April_2005.pdf states:

 

" 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 creditpoints can be granted for education or training in these so-

called supplementary, complementary and alternative treatment

modalities. "

 

What is the policy of the EBVS on veterinary acupuncture, herbal

medicine & osteopathic/chiropractic medicine?

 

Does EBVS recognise professional veterinary training in those

modalities?:

(a) for use in practice,

and

(b) for credit points?
