4th Annual Maddie's Shelter Medicine Conference

Description



Conference features 13 hours of advanced shelter medicine continuing education.



"We are delighted to bring a great breadth of speaker
expertise to this conference. Many of the topics, including behavior assessment
tools and pain management in shelters, were suggested by veterinarians at last
year?s conference. Our presenters will also address some of the most important
challenges in shelters today: infectious disease control, maximizing the
veterinarian?s role in protecting health and welfare of shelter pets, and
development of standard operating protocols that assure quality control and
accountability in shelter care.



"New this year is a poster session called Frontiers in
Shelter Medicine. Conference attendees are invited to present their findings on
any topic relevant to shelter medicine, such as research updates, statistical
reviews, new protocols, case presentations, practice pearls, and educational
programs. Awards will be given to selected poster presenters who are currently
enrolled in training programs, including undergraduate, graduate, and
professional students, interns, and residents. This session will provide an
opportunity for veterinarians and others in academia and from the sheltering
world to share cutting edge information with each other."
