April 7, 2020 @ 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM PDT
Hello National Shelter Medicine Rounds attendees,
Today we will be hosting National Rounds at 3pm CT (1 PM Pacific). Please feel free to send questions or topic requests by email in advance and we will do our best to cover them, otherwise come prepared to ask questions and participate in discussion. Moving forward we will not be recording National Rounds held during COVID-19 discussions, for confidentiality purposes and because there are many other formalized webinars being recorded to share information, so we’d like this to remain more of a discussion forum. We hope you can join live as often as possible.
National Shelter Medicine Rounds is held on Zoom:

COVID-19 Rounds info:
We will be more regularly offering National Shelter Medicine Rounds short term to discuss COVID-19 impacts on shelter medicine on Tuesdays from 3-4pm CT (1pmPT/2pmMT/4pmET) and Thursdays from 2-3pm CT (12pmPT/1pmMT/3pmET). 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 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of the month and will return to that format once the need for regular COVID-19 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.
Shared documents/links info:
As this group size and information shared grows we are working to get things as organized and streamlined as possible. Each rounds session I will be saving any documents and links that are shared in the chat in a folder called ‘COVID-19 shared documents’ that can be accessed at the Box link found at the end of each email in all rounds emails. You should be able to access the box folder as a guest at any time without a sign in necessary.
