One Medicine: Linking Human and Animal Health and Medicine at 2013 ACVIM Forum

Posted on by

Newswise (Denver, CO) The key to curing and preventing human diseases and disorders may come from veterinary research as veterinarians and scientists from around the globe gather in Seattle to present the latest veterinary medical advances helping both animals and humans live longer, healthier lives.

One Medicine, a term that acknowledges the fundamental similarities between species as they relate to the practice of medicine, is a key focus for several presentations during the 2013 ACVIM Forum. In addition, One Medicine takes a global view of health by recognizing that environmental health is fundamental to all living species.

Its a concise way of saying animals and people are more similar than different, said Jeffrey Toll, DVM, DACVIM (Small Animal Internal Medicine) and past chair of the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicines (ACVIM) Education and Research Committee. Not only does our work benefit animals, but spontaneous diseases in companion and other animals, such as horses, are being increasingly recognized as more accurate models for human diseases when compared to laboratory animals such as mice. As the veterinary experts on cancer, infections and other animal diseases, collaborations between ACVIM Diplomates and the human biomedical research community were inevitable.

On Friday June 14th four Scientific Sessions focused on One Medicine will be offered at the Washington State Convention Center.

One Medicine in Disasters: Haiti Earthquake K. Crowdis 2:10 3:00 pm Rooms 618-619 One Medicine in Military Medicine: US Army Public Health Command K. Havas 3:10 4:00 pm Rooms 618-619 One Medicine on the Battlefield: Clinical Practice Guidelines for Military Working Dog Emergency Care by Human Health Care Providers M. Takara 4:25 5:15 pm Rooms 618-619 One Medicine in the Exam Room L. Kidd 5:25 6:15 pm Rooms 618-619

ASU Explores Starting Osteopathic Medical School in Jonesboro

Posted on by

Arkansas State University Chancellor Tim Hudsonannounced Tuesday that the university is exploring public-private partnerships to establish an osteopathic medical school in Jonesboro.

According to a news release from the university, ASU System President Charles Welch authorized Hudson to work with local leaders and representatives of osteopathic medical schools on a feasibility study for the project.

"Arkansas State has a long tradition of creating programs that meet state needs," Hudson said. "An osteopathic medical school could be transformative for our state and our region."

Hudson said ASU is considering partnerships with existing private osteopathic medicalschools, following models in states like Alabama, Arizona, Oregon and South Carolina. He said ASU officials have already made site visits as part of preliminary research.

"With this concept, we would not seek state funding," Hudson said. "The school would generate revenue through tuition, research, and external support."

Hudson said he expects to compile a report and recommendation on how to proceed for Welch and the ASU Board of Trustees before the end of the year.

Jason Penry, ASU's chief of staff, is oversing the study. He said next steps include finding people and institutions to provide counsel on "everything from accreditation and curriculum to operations and facilities."

ASU also said it has been in discussions with Jonesboro city leaders, including Mayor Harold Perrin and Jonesboro Regional Chamber of Commerce CEO Mark Young, and executives atSt. Bernards Healthcare and NEA Baptist Clinic, bothin Jonesboro.

Those leaders said anosteopathic medical school would be a new economic engine for the Delta, attracting medical professionals and increasing the availability of primary care. ASU official said there would also be collaborative research and other educational opportunities between medical professionals and students.

"Adding several hundred professional students to our community, along with the professors and staff needed to operate such a school, would have an enormously positive impact on our community,"Youngsaid.

JONESBORO, Ark. - Arkansas State University is exploring public-private partnerships to establish an osteopathic medical school that would help expand primary health care availability throughout the mid-South, Chancellor Tim Hudson announced today.

ASU System President Charles Welch authorized Hudson to work with local leaders and representatives of existing osteopathic medical schools on a feasibility study for the project.

"Arkansas State has a long tradition of creating programs that meet state needs," Hudson said. "An osteopathic medical school could be transformative for our state and our region."

Doctors of osteopathic medicine (D.O.) are fully trained physicians who complete four years of medical school and are licensed by state medical boards to prescribe medication, perform surgery and practice in all recognized medical specialties. Many osteopathic physicians incorporate manipulative treatment, which involves using the hands to diagnose, treat, and prevent illness or injury.

D.O.s are one of the fastest growing segments of health care professionals in the United States, according to the American Osteopathic Association (AOA), and the number of active osteopathic physicians is expected to grow from 70,000 this year to more than 100,000 by 2020. According to the State Medical Board, Arkansas has 450 active D.O. license holders, including 265 who currently practice in Arkansas.

There are 29 accredited osteopathic medical colleges (COMs) at 37 locations throughout the United States, but the nearest D.O. schools to Jonesboro are nearly 400 miles away in Tulsa, Okla., and Hattiesburg, Miss. The majority of D.O. schools are privately owned, and demand for enrollment is at an all-time high.

ASU's due diligence process includes considering partnerships with existing private D.O. schools, Hudson said, a model that has proven successful in several states such as Alabama, Arizona, Oregon and South Carolina. ASU officials have already made site visits as part of the preliminary research, he added.

"With this concept, we would not seek state funding," Hudson said. "The school would generate revenue through tuition, research, and external support."

Jonesboro Mayor Harold Perrin is among community leaders who have been involved in the initial discussions to evaluate financial models for the school.

"The city has been an important partner with Arkansas State in our mutual growth through the years, and this appears to be another opportunity to work together and further strengthen our community and region," Perrin said.

Harvard Medical School research dean leaving for industry job

Posted on by

After just three years at Harvard Medical School, Dr. William W. Chin, executive dean for research will leave next month for a job with a pharmaceutical trade group in Washington, D.C.

Chin has presided over research at the medical school during a difficult time, as federal funding for biomedical research has decreased and Harvards primate research center was mired in animal care problems. Harvard Medical School also ran an operating deficit of $28.8 million in fiscal year 2012, caused partly by the decline in research funding as the money made available through the stimulus package ended.

Chin has been a trusted advisor to me, a valued collaborator to many and a good friend to all of us, Dr. Jeffrey Flier, dean of the medical school, wrote in an e-mail announcing Chins pending departure. I have relied on his counsel on many issues, especially those that relate to the nature of translational medicine and the interface between industry and academia.

Chin has a dual background, with experience in the pharmaceutical industry and heading an academic laboratory. Prior to becoming executive dean for research at Harvard in 2010, he worked at Eli Lilly and Company.

Chin will begin his new job as executive vice president for science and regulatory affairs at the trade group, Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, on July 1. No successor has been announced. Flier instead said in his letter that he will develop a plan over the next few months to provide ongoing support for the roles that Bill has served over the past three years.
