The VCPR (Veterinarian-Client-Patient Relationship) has become an especially important consideration in animal sheltering as we navigate the challenges posed by the current pandemic. In this webinar, we will learn what the VCPR is, why it is important legally and ethically, and how to define it within shelter systems. Case examples will consider specific situations such as telemedicine, transport, and health certificates. The information presented in this webinar will benefit all types of animal welfare organizations (including shelters large and small, rescue, foster-based, transport, temporary); any shelter professional who is involved in medical decision-making (including executive directors, medical directors, foster coordinators); and veterinarians (including full-time shelter veterinarians, contract and relief shelter veterinarians, private practice veterinarians that work with animal welfare organizations).
This session is part of the Shelter Medicine series, a collaboration between the Association of Shelter Veterinarians and The Association for Animal Welfare Advancement.
