Dr. Ron DeHaven, AVMA CEO, explains the Animal Welfare Symposium

The International Symposium on Animal Welfare in Veterinary Medical Education – cosponsored by the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) and the Association of American Veterinary Medical Colleges – will give veterinary and animal welfare experts from around the world an opportunity to meet and discuss animal welfare, an important and sometimes controversial issue. Dr. Ron DeHaven, CEO of the AVMA, explains the importance of this first-of-its kind symposium, Nov. 9-11. Ultimately, it’s about giving animals the highest possible quality-of-life.
