Greetings all,
This will be a shorter message ahead of our upcoming all-virtual meeting. While I was looking forward to visiting New Orleans, I am glad we will be back there the year after next. By that time, I am hopeful we can experience all that New Orleans has to offer.
In the meantime, thanks to all who have registered for the meeting. For those on the fence, be sure to check out the conference schedule HERE, as there are many interesting topics of interest and reasons to attend. I am looking forward to Wednesday, October 20, with a day dedicated to topics of mental health, wellness, and burnout, particularly timely given the challenges of the last years. Further down in this newsletter you will see the details on how this content is available for ALL in the College.
Thursday through Saturday feature a wide variety of fascinating key note presentations, including imaging in forensic medicine, farm animal imaging, an artificial intelligence panel, a discussion of advocacy, and even information about gravitational waves. As was the case last year, abstract sessions will be available as pre-recorded sessions in the library. The image interpretation should be interesting and fun as always. Thanks to those who are taking part (see below for additional information).
Please visit the website, to read the in memoriam post for Dr. Ellis Madison Hall. Dr. Hall was a remarkable person who passed away in August. He was an alumnus of Tuskegee University School of Veterinary Medicine and a professor emeritus there. He was the first African American board certified veterinary radiologist. He was also noted for his efforts in helping the Lumbee Indians of Robeson County, North Carolina, with a news item about his work that is accessible here and via the post on the website.
Finally, congratulations to all our new ACVR-RO, ACVR-EDI, and ACVR –DI Diplomates. Please see the website for the list of those who passed their certifying examinations.
Next months newsletter will bring you up to date with discussions in Executive Council. For committee chairs and society presidents, it is not too late to send in your report ahead of that meeting.
Take care,
Nate Nelson
