Johne's Re-Certification Meetings

Re-Certification Meetings

"Re-certification" is required at least every three years. All veterinarians who were certified in 2004 (or earlier) should plan on attending one of these sessions. Every* veterinarian who is doing risk assessments and writing herd plans MUST attend a re-certification session. At these meetings, updates will be provided on Johne's Disease, the state program, commonly observed 'issues' with risk assessment/herd plans, etc. by some or all of Bob Whitlock, Ray Sweeney, Dave Griswold, Ernest Hovingh and others.
