Abstract
Extract
Society in general has become more aware in recent years of both the benefits and the hazards associated with the rapid pace of technological development. A perspective, over relatively recent times, of just how rapidly some of these changes have been occurring, has been provided by Goldmark (Citation1969). His graphs of population growth, life expectancy, of man's achievements in speed of travel, the power to produce explosive energy, and of the volume of books published, all emphasize that change is itself becoming a way of life. Along with most other professions, that of veterinary medicine is in the position both of helping to produce and of learning to cope with, rapid technological innovation. This has put increased emphasis on the role of continuing education in helping veterinarians to adjust to changes in practice emphasis and to continue to provide clients with the most competent service possible.
