Disaster Training Sponsorship
Veterinarians must be prepared to deal with a variety of animal health situations on a daily basis. Due to the frequency and unpredictability of natural disasters, emergency medical training is a key component of veterinary education. AVMF sponsors state, regional, or national disaster-related training sessions aimed at preparing veterinarians to care for animals before, during, and after a disaster.
The AVMF is now accepting applications for 2012 Disaster Training Grants. The deadline for submitting an application is April 30, 2012.
