New equine Online CE courses now available

The new Online Continuing Education (CE) web site became available last February, bringing versatility to CE in the fast-paced veterinary profession. The Office of Continuing Education has offered conventional CE courses on the Ohio State campus since 1926 and has been pleased with the new online option. All courses are about an hour to 90 minutes in length and range in cost from $40 to $60.

Students Learn Shelter Medicine at the Capital Area Humane Society

By Kristine McComis

In a perfect world, all animals would live in safe, loving homes and over-population issues would vanish. However, as the veterinary students at The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine know all too well, this perfect balance does not exist. A Shelter Medicine rotation has traditionally made up part of the veterinary curriculum, and last year Ohio State improved the program by establishing a surgical partnership with the Capital Area Humane Society in Columbus, one of the most respected animal shelters in the state of Ohio.

Safe Summer program returns

The Safe Summer program offers solutions for college students who are leaving for the summer and may have a pet they cannot take with them. In past years, many pets were abandoned in empty apartments, or released to the street. Safe Summer was created by the Shelter Medicine Club of The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine and is run by students and volunteers. The service will be available from May 26 through June 19, 2009 with the goal of finding a safe home for any pets left behind.
