President's Report
By: Dr. Abby Schuster
|
| Dear CVMA Members, The CVMA wrapped up the Spring with 2 social events and a continuing education event all within the past month. Thank you to everyone who was able to attend one or more of these events. The annual CVMA canoe trip was held this past Sunday and everyone had a great time once again. Pictures of the fun are included later in the newsletter. The details of the Fall Short Course have also been set. The Fall Short course is scheduled for Sunday, October 18, at Great Wolf Lodge. Dr. Stephen Birchard will be speaking to the veterinarians about surgery topics and Dr. Jennifer Brandt will speak on compassion fatigue. There will once again be a technician program as well. Techs will hear from Dr. Ashley Wiese on anesthesia and post-op patient care, as well as Dr. Brandt on the topic of compassion fatigue. Though we are heading into the summer recess, your board will still be busy with multiple projects. The website is getting a much-needed update, the language of the by-laws is being reviewed, and we are working on a community outreach program with the help of local fire departments. The project involves window decals that alert first responders to the presence of pets within a household. We are looking for a small number of practices to help with a trial run of this project and then give us feedback on the idea. If your practice is interested in helping, please contact Holly or myself by July 1st. If more practices are interested than are needed, we will take the first practices that respond. I hope that you all have a fun and relaxing summer. Thank you for reading, and see you in the Fall. Abby Schuster, DVM
