## Resource

Welcome to the Veterinary Breakroom! Join Alyssa Watson, DVM, and special guests Gigi Davidson, BSPharm, DICVP, FACVP, FSVHP, and Erica Wassack, PharmD, DICVP, FSVHP, as they discuss an exciting development in veterinary pharmacy. The Board of Pharmacy Specialties (BPS) recently received a petition to formally recognize veterinary pharmacy as a specialty. Learn how pharmacy specialization works, why veterinary pharmacists are advocating for this recognition, and how this could strengthen collaboration and medication expertise in veterinary medicine. Veterinarians can also make their voices heard by participating in the public comment period, which is open until April 1, 2026.
