Dr. Peter Prescott remembers his career in veterinary medicine and his time as Executive Director of the Michigan Veterinary Medical Association

Prescott describes many of the challenges the profession and the MVMA faced during his tenure, including mandatory continuing education for veterinarians and a failed attempt to develop an accreditation program. He also talks about some of the people with whom he served, including the first woman president of the association, Mary Beth Leininger, the ever increasing number of female veterinarians, the close ties between the Michigan State University College of Veterinary Medicine and the MVMA, tracking legislation which could have an unintended impact on veterinarians, and dealing with animal welfare laws. The interviewer is Dr. Jan Krehbiel, MSU Professor of Veterinary Medicine Emeritus, for the Michigan Veterinary Medical Association oral histories.
