University of Florida offers shelter medicine program online.

Posted on by

GAINESVILLE, Fla., Nov. 16, 2012 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Gainesville, Fla., November 16, 2012 The University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine has expanded its shelter medicine program to allow veterinarians and veterinary students around the world to earn the Maddie's Online Graduate Certificate in Shelter Medicine.

This online program imparts the knowledge and skills veterinarians need to care for large numbers of dogs and cats. It teaches how to manage the infectious diseases not usually seen in well-cared for pets; how to prevent behavioral problems that could keep homeless animals from being adopted; and how to improve animal welfare by conducting forensic medical examinations and performing high-volume, high-quality spay and neuter surgeries.

"This graduate certificate allows veterinarians to enhance their careers with affordable and convenient training," said Terry G. Spencer, D.V.M., MEd., clinical assistant professor and director of distance education for the program. "This credential documents the student's extra course work devoted to becoming a practice-ready shelter veterinarian. In some cases, the credits earned can be applied toward continuing education units or an advanced degree."

Until recently, few veterinary schools offered training in shelter medicine, but UF's College of Veterinary Medicine is an early pioneer in the field, offering the Maddie's Shelter Medicine Certificate program to its on-campus D.V.M. students. The certificate's first recipients graduated in 2010. The school began offering the program's three core courses online in 2012.

"The online courses are taught by the same faulty who teach the on-campus courses. We are highly experienced in disease outbreak interventions, and emergency sheltering assistance," said Spencer. "We have consulted for shelters across the US and internationally, and our ongoing research has resulted in new and innovative ways to manage existing and emerging threats to the health and welfare of sheltered animals."

The Maddie's Online Graduate Certificate in Shelter Medicine includes three required graduate courses with the following learning outcomes:

Rutgers' governing boards are poised to officially approve university merger plan

Posted on by

Rutgers Universitys governing boards on Monday are expected to officially approve the medical school merger that will boost the state universitys size and stature, catapulting it into the top tier of research institutions nationwide.

RECORD FILE PHOTO

Rutgers University

The vote is the last procedural hurdle before Rutgers can legally absorb most of the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey beginning in July. The merger plan also calls for Rowan University in Glassboro to take on a new South Jersey medical school and offer some joint programs with Rutgers Camden campus.

But officials from UMDNJ and Rutgers and Rowan already have spent months and millions of dollars planning the logistics of the merger since legislation authorizing the move was approved over the summer.

Rutgers governing boards, which have the power to block the merger, apparently are satisfied that the final legislation ensured that the Camden campus will remain under their control. The boards also had some trepidation about the cost of the merger and taking on UMDNJs sizeable debt of more than $600 million.

Lawyers and accountants have been parsing the deal for months, and members of Rutgers boards of governors and trustees said they were confident the merger vote would fly on Monday.

There are some minor things were not thrilled with but we certainly can deal with it, said one trustee, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

There is nothing minor about the merger.

This is a corporate merger of the highest degree, said Joe Cardona, a spokesman for Rowan. There is a big investment here by all involved, but there will be a payoff down the road.
