July International Veterinary Rounds: An Interdisciplinary Approach to Strengthen Dengue Readiness in American Samoa

Live Webinar: Friday, July 11, 8:15 - 8:45 am

Sharing knowledge and experiences from a wide array of cases is an excellent way to give back to our profession. And here’s your opportunity! Over the past three years, the UW School of Veterinary Medicine and Wisconsin Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory have developed a collaborative relationship with EMRI Green Health Services in Hyderabad, India to provide clinical training of field veterinarians. This relationship includes regular monthly virtual case rounds. The goals: an expanded audience and enhanced participation of veterinary colleagues on all continents.

During July’s webinar, Dr. Samuel D. Emmerich will cover his deployment with a multidisciplinary team from the CDC in early 2025.
