Applied Animal and Public Health Research and Extension Symposium Seeks Presenters

July 25, 2012 — 

Have you worked on a project or developed resources related to animal or public health this year? Would you like to share it with an avid audience? Coordinators for the 8th Annual Applied Animal and Public Health Research and Extension Symposium are seeking presenters for the upcoming symposium. This event is sponsored by the American Association of Extension Veterinarians and will be held on Saturday, October 20, 2012 from 3:00 – 6:00pm in Greensboro, NC (coincides with the US Animal Health Association Annual Meeting).

Presenters will be given 15 minutes to summarize a project that highlights animal or public health topic applicable to an audience of veterinarians involved in extension, regulatory, academia, and diagnostics. There will be 5 minutes allowed for Q&A.

Even though there is no funding available for presenters, don’t let that stop you from sending in an abstract to the moderators! Please submit them by August 17, 2012. You are not required to register for USAHA if you are only attending/presenting at this session.
