Online Seminar - 8/25/21 and 8/31/21 - Diversity & Inclusion in the Veterinary Profession: Why It Matters - CVMA
2021-08-25 17:30 - 18:45, 2021-08-31 12:30 - 13:45 (America/Los_Angeles) | Virtual
The veterinary profession is one of the least diverse professions in the United States with regard to underrepresented and historically marginalized populations. This webinar will highlight historic and current trends in the veterinary profession. Participants will appreciate why creating more diverse and inclusive veterinary teams is critical to the profession’s endurance and to the people and patients it serves. Participants will gain an understanding of the meaning of popular terminology related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Dr. Suzie Kovacs will demonstrate how individuals can reflect on their own biases and come to understand that uncomfortable conversations may be a necessary component of progress. Through sharing some of her personal experiences, Dr. Kovacs hopes to be of benefit to others who are on a similar journey. This webinar will be of interest to those who are new to DEI discussions, as well as anyone committed to working with others to create a healthier and more robust veterinary profession.
Attendees can earn 1.5 CEUs. Sponsored by Hill’s Pet Nutrition.
This seminar is open to veterinarians, veterinary technicians, veterinary hospital staff, and veterinary students only.

Online Seminar - 5/7/24 and 5/9/24 - Keeping Families Together: How to Support Domestic Violence Survivors and Their Pets - CVMA (fee applies)
2024-05-07 12:30 - 13:45, 2024-05-09 17:30 - 18:45 | Virtual
In this session, we will discuss the link between domestic violence and pets and how the veterinary community can increase access to veterinary care for survivors and pets by supporting pet housing programs at domestic violence shelters. Studies show that 65% of domestic violence survivors have a pet, but nearly half delay or avoid leaving abusers out of concern for their pets.
Veterinary professionals are likely to interact with survivors and their pets and have the opportunity to identify signs of potential abuse, respond to situations of crisis, and connect survivors to resources. Helping survivors and their pets stay together requires collaboration between human services, animal services, and veterinary services. Establishing lines of communication, providing resources, and sharing expertise between veterinary providers and human services removes significant barriers.
After this session, veterinary professionals will feel confident on how to navigate next steps in building relationships in their communities and supporting local pet-housing programs at domestic violence shelters.
