I’m very excited to share with you the great news that we now have two more veterinarians who have passed their membership examinations to be inducted into our Aquatic Animal Health Chapter, of the ANZCVS.
Drs Susan Gibson-Kueh and Jo Bannister join the contingent of veterinarians from WA, to make us lead the nation in the number of members with special expertise in this area (not bad for our relatively small population).
The distribution of members (retired members in parentheses) are presented in this map.
