SHIC/AASV Webinar Series: Seeking Your Input

October 28, 2020 — Paul Sundberg

The Swine Health Information Center (SHIC) and American Association of Swine Veterinarians (AASV) jointly sponsor a webinar series on swine health "industry chatter" topics. With almost all industry meetings either canceled or gone virtual, the opportunity to talk in person with colleagues about issues affecting health has diminished greatly. So having a new opportunity for conversation is helpful. The next webinar, topic to be determined, is scheduled for December 10, 2020, at 10:00 am CST. SHIC and AASV would like your input on what topic to address!

Are you seeing new occurrences of "old" diseases that are difficult to manage? Are there challenging diagnoses or syndromes in pigs you're seeing? Do you need more information and points of view related to on-going health issues in your barns? These webinars bring together subject matter experts to discuss current issues facing US pork producers and practitioners. Past topics have included viral myelitis, tracheitis, coccidiosis, and lameness/arthritis. Conducted by the Iowa State University Swine Medicine Education Center (SMEC), webinar participants include practitioners with first-hand experience with the topic being discussed, diagnosticians, and other experts. Completed webinars are posted online for convenient access here.

Reach out to SHIC Executive Director Dr. Paul Sundberg at psundberg@swinehealth.org or AASV Director of Public Health and Communications Dr. Abbey Canon at canon@aasv.org with your webinar recommendations.

In addition to the webinars, SHIC also takes a further look at the issues with the SHIC Talk Podcast. Here webinar participants discuss the topic conversationally in an audio-only format.

Thank you for sharing your recommendations for upcoming industry chatter webinars!
