VECCS Educational Speaker Grant Offers Funds to Continuing Education

California-based DV Medical Supply provides medical products and pharmaceuticals ranging from IV fluids and hypodermics to pills and ointments. With roots in the veterinary industry, DV Medical Supply supports the Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care Society (VECCS), which assists local and state veterinary educational groups through the VECCS Educational Speaker Grant.
VECCS Educational Speaker Grant funds compensate organizations for the financial costs of continuing education speakers who deliver presentations on emergency and critical care topics ranging from surgical and medical to practice management and operation subjects. Grants amount to $600 and are dispersed to 10 different organizations per calendar year. Recipients must apply 100 percent of the funds toward speaker honorarium expenses.
Completed applications for the VECCS Educational Speaker Grant must include the intended audience, topic areas, and intended speaker, if applicable. Intended speakers must be in good standing with the VECCS. Applicants also may request a list of VECCS speakers and topics if they do not have a specific one in mind. Grants are available to local and state veterinary and veterinary technician medical associations, and other international or nonprofit groups that host continuing education courses.
The Educational Speaker Grant upholds the VECCS mission of promoting the advancement of knowledge and maintaining a forum for collaboration among veterinary emergency and critical care professionals. It also reflects the organization’s commitment to facilitating high practice standards in veterinary emergency medicine and critical patient care.
