The College of Veterinarians of British Columbia is working hard to be part of the solution to this complex issue. For example, in 2021 the College introduced the Provisional Supervised Active (PSA) class of registration. PSA registration allows internationally educated veterinarians to practise veterinary medicine under the direct supervision of a fully licensed veterinarian while they complete the assessments and exams required for full licensure in British Columbia.  The benefits of the PSA registration program are numerous. Participants gain hands-on experience meeting practice standards in British Columbia, acquire facility and client management skills, and earn an income. All the while, they alleviate British Columbia’s veterinary workforce shortage. Participants often increase access to veterinary services in other ways too, like by providing care in multiple languages.  The PSA registration program is just one way the College brings innovative approaches to complex issues that affect the public interest.      Learn more on our website: https://lnkd.in/gvRx9Crq
