Adventures in Veterinary Medicine (by William Lynn)
During the spring and summer, Tufts has a wonderful program that educates youth and adults about veterinary medicine, as well as issues in human-animal studies. The program is called Adventures in Veterinary Medicine (AVM). For more information on AVM, you can visit the website at www.tufts.edu/vet/avm.
I’ve started giving presentations on wolves and public policy for AVM. Why? Well, vets have much to offer people and wildlife in terms of health, conservation and policy. Their contributions in thought and practice are often overlooked or under-rated, and it is a pleasure to participate in a program to help change all that. In addition, wolves are cool! They draw people to the AVM program. And then there is the fun of speaking to a cross-section of the wider public that cares about the well-being of animals and the landscape.
In this spirit, you might enjoy the blog entries on AVM by one of the younger participants (especially what she has to say about wolves, AVM @ Tufts).
cheers, Bill
