The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM) is hosting “Paws, Claws, Hooves, Fins, and Feet—Advancements through a One Health Approach,” a virtual One Health symposium on November 19, 2024, from 10:00am to 5:00pm. The event is open to all members of the veterinary community.
The goal of the symposium is to highlight CVM’s role in protecting human and animal health and to share information on the center’s One Health approach to:
- Animal drug safety surveillance;
- Animal drug development for minor species, such as honeybees, and minor uses in major species like cattle, dogs, and horses;
- Animal cells, tissues, and cell- and tissue-based products, such as blood or platelet-rich plasma; and
- Novel food ingredients that function in the gut of an animal to affect qualities like feed efficiency, waste output, and the reduction of pathogens in food products made from the animal.
This program has been approved for 4 hours of RACE continuing education credit for veterinarians and veterinary technicians in jurisdictions which recognize RACE approval. Please note that RACE credit is only available for those who attend the live event.
For detailed information and to register for the event, please visit the CVM One Health symposium webpage. For general symposium questions, please email AskCVM@fda.hhs.gov.
