| 7:30AM - 5:00PM | This summit is designed for medical and veterinary health care professionals and other scientists with an interest in emerging zoonotic diseases, disease prevention and preparedness issues. National subject matter experts will talk about the epidemiology and challenges of prevention and control of a handful of zoonotic diseases, most with the potential to cause widespread human disease either naturally or as bioterrorist weapons. Opportunities for better integration of human and animal disease surveillance and disease control efforts will also be discussed. A full description, along with an agenda for the event, is located at the Web site provided. Because this is a highly specialized program and there is no fee to attend, space is limited to the first 100 participants, and registrations will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis until the course is full. Registration includes one copy of the summary of presentations, instructional materials, a certificate of completion, refreshment breaks and served lunch. |
