The University of Wisconsin Shelter Medicine Program is thrilled to announce the next installment of National Shelter Medicine Rounds!
National Rounds is a platform for discussion of current topics relevant to shelter medicine for continued learning and collaboration. While primarily intended or shelter veterinarians, others interested in shelter medicine are welcome to join; we believe everyone will take something away from these calls! The national rounds call will take place Tuesday August 22nd from 2:30 to 3: 30 Central Time.
The topic of presentation and discussion this week will be “Connecting Infectious Disease, Wellbeing, and Equity”.
If we really want to change the experiences of the animals and the people we serve, we need to think outside our shelter walls or the foster homes that make up our rescues. So many of the most common terrible maladies are actually quite preventable. Yet, infectious disease so often results from inequities and lack of access to care. If we want less illness and better welfare for everyone in our organizations and our communities, we need to connect the dots between infectious disease, well-being, and equity.
We hope to have an open discussion, so come with questions and feel free to unmute to participate! Our hope is to create a space that feels safe for all participants; we ask you to follow these Accountable Space guidelines. The presentation portion of National Rounds will be recorded, but the discussion and Q & A sessions will not.
If you or someone you know would like to be added to the national rounds email list, please send your request to nationalsheltermedicinerounds@vetmed.wisc.edu.
