AVMA PLIT Launches “Cover
Your Assets”: An Online Resource for Veterinary Students
CHICAGO – October 27,
2016 – The AVMA PLIT launched a new online resource for veterinary students
called “Cover Your Assets.” The student module was created to educate students
on protecting their reputations and careers with the right insurance coverage.
“The PLIT is proud to sponsor Student Professional
Liability coverage as a SAVMA member benefit, and we wanted to create an
educational tool for students to better prepare them for the litigious world
they may face,” said Dr. Nina Mouledous, AVMA PLIT Trust Veterinarian. “The
focus of this module is to show students how to protect their reputation, and
ultimately their career. “Cover Your Assets” is a great resource that really
simplifies the otherwise complex topic of insurance, and we are really excited
for the students to take advantage of it.”
“Cover Your Assets”
is segmented into four brief videos and covers the types of claims and
complaints, best practices to avoid complaints, and lessons learned. The videos
do not have to be watched all at once, the system will keep track of where a
viewer left off. Dr. Nina Mouledous appears in the video along with Anthony
DeVito, JD, a Veterinary License Defense Attorney, to provide their expertise. Following
the video, students are prompted to take a quiz and, if successful, will be
provided with a certificate of completion. Students now have the option to
include their certificate of completion in their Veterinary Business Management
Association (VBMA) Honors Portfolio starting in the spring semester for 2017. The
student module can be accessed at avmaplit.com/cya.
The PLIT encourages
all veterinary students to complete the module. The AVMA PLIT is protecting veterinarians and future veterinarians
through it all.
