NYSAVT

🐾 We had a great time connecting with future veterinary professionals at the SUNY Delhi Career Fair!

We were excited to meet so many passionate students in veterinary technology. Events like this are a great reminder of the bright future ahead for LVTs 💙

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to chat with us. A special thank you to the SUNY Delhi NYSAVT student chapters for being such an active part of the organization!

The Veterinary Entomology team at Penn State is conducting a brief survey to better understand how veterinary professionals approach client communication regarding vector-borne risks, including ticks, fleas, and vector-borne diseases such as Lyme disease and heartworm.

This effort is part of the VectorED Network, a CDC-funded vector-borne disease Training and Education Center and they are performing a needs assessment to better understand how to support the role that veterinary professionals may play in vector-borne disease education of the public. They are focusing on veterinary professionals in the Mid-Atlantic and the Ohio River Valley region.

Why participate?
• Share your expertise on vectors and vector-borne diseases
• Contribute to research that will inform veterinary resources and improve client communication tools
• Help highlight the critical role veterinarians and veterinary staff play in protecting both animal and public health
