Dear ACVR members,

ACVR is so excited to be back in person for 2022. After two fully virtual meetings, it will be wonderful to see everyone in person and in one place. Much has changed in today’s world and ACVR is cognizant of trying to make smart and safe choices.

ACVR Council asks that our group be vaccinated against COVID-19 to participate in the 2022 Annual Scientific Conference. Council members felt passionate about our College gathering safely and as members of the science community. Details laying out the protocols are below. This decision was not reached lightly but was made to make all feel safer about attending the in-person portion of our annual meeting.

ACVR understands that there may be situations where other factors are in play and we will work with those individuals. ACVR also understands that some individuals will feel safer by participating via the Enduring Materials content from their own homes. (This option still counts towards your Diplomate meeting attendance requirement.)

ACVR’s hope with this decision is not to alienate, but to ensure as many members feel as safe as possible joining us in Reno.

Personally, I cannot wait to see you in Reno. After two years of meeting virtually, I am ready to see my peers together again.
 
Sincerely,
Wm Tod Drost, DVM, DACVR
Executive Director, American College of Veterinary Radiology
Health and Safety Protocols

ACVR’s leadership feels confident that our College can organize together in a healthy and safe manner at this year’s Annual Scientific Meeting. We appreciate your understanding and also understand that circumstances of each individual and their community, workplace, and family are unique.

With these factors in mind, we are pleased to offer both an in-person and enduring materials option to ensure that everyone has access to their preferred experience:

1. In-Person*: Our face-to-face meeting in Reno, Nevada will still take place responsibly by following CDC, local, state, and federal guidelines. ACVR intends to present the Annual Scientific Meeting as in years past with educational and social events during the week. (In Person registration also receive Enduring Materials Access.)

ACVR is requesting that all attendees be vaccinated against COVID-19 to participate in the 2022 Annual Scientific Meeting. Attendees will be asked to show proof of vaccination upon arrival at the meeting. If you are unable to be vaccinated due to religious or medical reasons and do not wish to participate via Enduring Materials, please contact acvr@pamedsoc.org.

  • Temperature checks at the start of each day and masks** will be required for individuals not providing proof of vaccinations or with exceptions.
  • Safety will be considered when providing food and beverage during the meeting and social events.
  • Enduring material is also available for individuals who feel unsafe in this environment.

*Health and Safety Protocols are subject to change at any time. All such changes will be updated and communicated as quickly as possible to registered attendees. Additional details of our Health and Safety Protocols, including the details regarding the process of providing proof of vaccination, will be announced as we get closer to the event dates.

**ACVR cannot control or require guests/staff of the Silver Legacy to wear masks or be vaccinated. By attending the event, all attendees accept that these protocols will not be in place outside of ACVR events. Venue regulations may change based on state guidelines.
 
 
2. Enduring Materials: For a variety of reasons, you may simply feel like a virtual option is the better choice. ACVR will have enduring materials that can be viewed at your convenience.

Questions can be directed to acvr@pamedsoc.org.
