    Webinar – 6/23/20 – Revolutionizing Your Data Entry Game to Save More Lives, Money, & More! – PetPoint

    The animal welfare industry now knows that data-driven decision-making is advantageous, but did you know that efficient data entry can also have tremendous benefits? When faced with choosing between devoting time and resources to animal care versus a seemingly mundane task like entering data, the choice seems obvious. However, modernizing our data entry methods and prioritizing real-time data entry creates efficiencies that allow shelter staff to spend more time caring for animals and increase organizational success.

    In this webinar, members from our Pethealth Team and animal welfare leaders will highlight how technological efficiencies and updates increase staff morale, customer satisfaction, and lifesaving impact. You will also learn how paper-lite operations are investments in emergency preparedness and environmental responsibility and how to foster team buy-in. In this post Covid-19 world of economic and social distancing challenges, efficiency matters now more than ever.

    Hello National Shelter Medicine Rounds attendees,

    We will be holding rounds tomorrow 7/14 and continuing discussion from last week surrounding shelter medicine educators tactics during this time. We welcome others to come prepared to informally share more about their altered teaching models.

    Dr. Crawford also shared this timely veterary student survey to take a look at:

    US – VETERINARY STUDENT SURVEY  The VBMA, the Veterinary Information Network (VIN), and VIN Foundation developed a survey to shed light on if, and how, the pandemic is impacting veterinary students preparing to enter the veterinary workforce. More than 1,000 veterinary students from the classes of ’20 and ’21 at US and Caribbean veterinary schools responded. The survey results showed that most students felt that their school’s reaction to COVID-19 was reasonable, and nearly 90% of the class of 2020 had signed or verbally agreed to employment. However, mental wellbeing of students has declined, and nearly two-thirds of the class of 2021 had externship experiences postponed or canceled. Click here to see the results of the survey.​

    Hello National Shelter Medicine Rounds attendees,

    For National Rounds next week Tuesday July 28th at 3pm CST we are hoping to discuss animal hoarding with all of you. We’ve heard from a few groups developing new strategies to manage cases – especially in the context of COVID. We’re interested in hearing from others about how cases are being managed and what community collaborations you’ve put in place. We hope to have many participate in discussing effective approaches to hoarding and interventions that improve human and animal wellbeing without causing detriments from exceeding shelter capacity or care through mass intake.  We hope to see many of you join us on Tuesday!
