“I think having a pathway that will show I'm not ‘just’ a GP, I'm a GP who works hard at practising at the highest level and remaining as current with knowledge that I can in a general practice setting.

“It also gives you that next level of status that I think so many of us need because performing at a high level – that's what we've been doing our whole lives. We’re high achievers with high levels of recognition and high levels of knowledge, and this this is a way that we can demonstrate that commitment to excellence in a general sphere.” – Dr Catherine Harper

In December 2024, the first AVA CVP accreditation was awarded to South Australian veterinarian Dr Catherine Harper. Dr Harper shares her experience with the AVA CVP program in the latest issue of Companion magazine.
