My name is Ashley Howald, and I am the Vice President of Outreach for the Canadian Pre-Veterinary Medical Association (CPVMA). The CPVMA is a not-for-profit organization to unite those considering a career in veterinary medicine. We aim to create enduring connections between pre-veterinary students, undergraduate veterinary clubs, veterinary schools, veterinarians, and other veterinary professionals through innovative laboratories, workshops, educational seminars, and networking opportunities.
We are excited to announce that Canada’s second annual Pre-Veterinary Symposium will occur virtually from August 11th to 13th, 2023. The symposium’s theme will center on One Health & the Human-Animal Bond and will showcase 18 speakers from diverse fields. To view the current list of speakers, kindly refer to this link: https://cpvma.ca/our-guest-speakers-2023/.
This symposium will allow students in veterinary medicine to gain knowledge from leading experts in various fields of veterinary medicine, delve into the latest research and engage in meaningful discussions. The One Health theme is essential for students interested in veterinary medicine, as it recognizes the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health. It also emphasizes the importance of disease prevention and control measures as it highlights the transmission of diseases between animals and humans. Veterinary medicine professionals play a significant role in detecting and monitoring diseases, providing valuable insights into potential human outbreaks. Additionally, they promote responsible animal agriculture practices and reduce the environmental impact of livestock production. Embracing One Health principles in veterinary medicine can improve public health and well-being.
It would be greatly appreciated if you could kindly share this information with your students. To access all three days of this event, there will be a cost of $10 CAD per person. For registration, please see this link: https://site.pheedloop.com/event/cpvma2023/register#category.
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out.
Thank you,
Ashley Howald
