Arizona Veterinary Medical Examining Board Practice

RACE, or the Registry of Approved Continuing Education, is a subdivision of the American Association of Veterinary State Boards (AAVSB). The AAVSB focuses on supporting veterinary regulatory boards and ensuring that veterinarians have access to approved continuing education opportunities. This initiative helps maintain and promote the standards of veterinary practice by certifying that educational programs meet specific criteria.

In contrast, while the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) and the Council on Education for Veterinary Medicine are significant organizations within the veterinary field, they do not oversee RACE. The AVMA primarily focuses on various professional aspects, advocacy, and education of veterinarians, and the Council on Education for Veterinary Medicine is concerned with accreditation processes for veterinary educational programs. Similarly, the National Veterinary Medical Association serves a different niche within the veterinary community, often emphasizing diversity and the needs of minority veterinary professionals.
