Why did the Academy select the title, Certified Veterinary Pain Practitioner, for this program?
• Since the IVAPM Credentialing Committee first started the development of our credentialing program in 2004 we have seen the establishment of many well regarded pain management related certification programs. We looked very carefully at the details of these programs and created a program that mirrored the core elements of these established programs. • We wanted to avoid the confusion we felt would occur should we have chosen a new title unfamiliar to both health professionals and the pet owning public. • We will need to make sure the certification title is acceptable to regional veterinary authorities. It is possible that PTs and PTAs will need to be given the title Certified Animal Pain Practitioner (CAPP).
