Hello National Shelter Medicine Rounds attendees,

We will be holding rounds tomorrow August 4^th at 3pm CST. We’ll be holding an open discussion to checki in on the new normal at your shelter: do you feel like you have defined a new normal, what is  your new normal, how is that different than pre-COVID normal? We hope to see many join and participate in discussion!

COVID-19 Rounds general info:

We will be more regularly offering National Shelter Medicine Rounds short term to discuss COVID-19 and other current topics that impact shelter medicine on Tuesdays from 3-4pm CT (1pmPT/2pmMT/4pmET. You are welcome to email questions or topics you hope to be discussed during rounds in advance to nationalsheltermedicinerounds@vetmed.wisc.edu and you are always encouraged to come prepared to unmute to ask questions and participate in discussion at any point. I will be sending email reminders of upcoming rounds in advance. Note: Rounds is typically held the 2^nd and 4^th Tuesdays of the month and will return to that format once the need for more regular discussion passes. Recordings will not be available during COVID-19 discussions but can be accessed from previous regular rounds and will again be available once we return to the usual format.

This group is made up of shelter veterinarians, shelter vet trainees, and upper level shelter leadership. If you know anyone that would like to be added to the national shelter medicine rounds email list to regularly receive scheduling updates moving forward, please have them email a request to be added to the email group to nationalsheltermedicinerounds@vetmed.wisc.edu.
