SUMMARY:Online Course - Starts 2/21/24 - Lifesaving by the Numbers: Effective Population Management in Animal Shelters - VIN (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:Course Information:\nProactive population management is a cornerstone of health and welfare for shelter populations. Reducing length of stay in animal shelters reduces the risk of infectious disease\, as time in the shelter is the top risk factor. Behavioral welfare is improved when animals spend less time in the shelter. \nStrategies to reduce length of stay include daily population rounds\, tracking animal flow through the shelter and removing bottlenecks\, pathway planning\, open selection\, managed admissions\, and fast-tracking of highly adoptable pets. The course will also cover practical strategies to build efficiency in medical programs\, as many of the common bottlenecks are related to the provision of veterinary care. Additionally\, while daily population rounds are crucial for collaboration across shelter teams and are key to ensuring animals keep moving on their shelter pathway\, they can be challenging to implement\, particularly in large shelters. \nPresenter: Erin Katribe\, DVM\, DABVP (Shelter Medicine Practice)\nCourse Open: February 21-March 9\, 2024\nReal Time Sessions (RTS): Wednesday\, February 28\, 2024; 8:00-10:00 pm ET (USA) World Clock Converter\nTotal CE Credit: 2\nRACE Category: 2 hours Medical \nLearning Objectives: Upon completion of the course\, the participant should be able to \n\ndiscuss the benefits of reducing length of stay on individual animal health\, lifesaving capacity of the shelter\, and individual animal behavioral welfare.\ndefine capacity for care in a shelter.\ndiscuss how to determine average or median length of stay.\ndefine pathway planning.\ndDiscuss the following strategies for reducing length of stay:\n\nPathway planning\nFast-tracking\nOpen selection\nManaged intake/admissions and intake diversion\n\n\ndiscuss the goals and practical implementation of daily population rounds.\ndiscuss the importance of tracking key metrics in shelter populations\, including length of stay\, intake and outcome metrics\, and disease incidence metrics.\n\nLevel and Prerequisites: This basic VIN CE course is open for enrollment to veterinarians and veterinary technicians/technologists interested in strategies to reduce length of stay while also reducing infectious disease spread in the shelter setting. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.vin.com/ce/SHEL102-0224.htm

SUMMARY:Online Event – 2/21/24 and 2/28/24 – Back Where They Belong: An online solution-sharing summit to get animals home faster\, easier\, better – Maddie’s® Million Pet Challenge
DESCRIPTION:Register Now! \nBack Where They Belong: A solution-sharing summit to get animals home faster\, easier\, better.  \nFebruary 21 and 28\, 2024 9 a.m.–2 p.m. \nJoin your colleagues nationwide for two half-days of actionable programs that you can begin to implement today to slow the number of animals coming into the shelter and get the ones that do back home faster\, easier\, better. \nWhether it’s getting community cats back to their hangouts and caretakers or reuniting dogs and their families\, we know there’s no place like home sweet home for animals and their people. Of course we want new homes for animals who need them\, but sometimes we forget how easy and impactful prioritizing going home again can be. From reducing shelter crowding to protect animals from disease and allow your team to provide better care\, to building support and positive relationships in the community\, the payoff is powerful for population management and beyond. And when we go all in on return to home\, we reconnect with the reason we do this work: to do our best to give each animal we meet the right outcome–in the right place. \nAt this two-day virtual gathering\, frontline staff will each share the most effective ways they’re incorporating return-to-home goals into everyday processes\, protocols and community programming to ensure animals spend more nights at home\, not in the shelter. \nLearn more and register at www.sheltersummit.com!\n\nPowered by partnership. This event is brought to you by the Maddie’s® Million Pet Challenge Learniverse at the UC Davis Koret Shelter Medicine Program. \n\nInvite your team \nDownload\, print\, and share this flyer and post it at your shelter to invite other staff members! \nClick to download the flyer\n
