INSIDE NAVC NAVC Learning Academy As our careers progress, we often find that we gravitate to a specific area of interest. While residencies afford an opportunity to practice a particular aspect of veterinary medicine while earning specialist credentials, many veterinary professionals would like to seek more specialized training while still engaging in general practice. The NAVC Learning Academy will be introducing robust and rigorous certification programs in a variety of areas, providing in-depth coursework and instruction in topics such as the human– animal bond, teaching and learning, veterinary business, and more. These certifications will be provided through a combination of live and online materials, in partnership with experts in each field. Mastery of these materials must be demonstrated through an examination or project, and credentials must be kept current through maintenance of certification. As each of these certifications grows, new information will be introduced and developed, fostering collaborative communities and driving innovation. Education is the red thread of our profession, tying us all together and advancing the art and science of veterinary medicine. As veterinary professionals, we have embarked on a lifelong journey of professional development. Aristotle is credited with the phrase "Education is the best provision for old age." We also know that education keeps us young and knowledge is our greatest tool. With it, we solve problems daily for the love of animals, for the love of people, and for the love of the planet. —Matt Winter, DVM, DACVR, Executive Vice President of Veterinary Education 15 MAY/JUNE 2017 ■ TVPJOURNAL.COM "Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn." —Benjamin Franklin
