All students that have a course scheduled for the end of the year (13, 13b, 13b2 or 13a- 3 week), will stay on this last rotation until Wednesday, June 9, 2021 at noon.

The next block starts on Tuesday instead of the normal Monday. Please note this when making any plans. Schedule Changes: Changes are not permitted without the approval of the course coordinator. If you need to be absent during a block for any reason you must fill out the standard absence form in advance and have it signed by the Associate Dean for Student and Academic Affairs. If you have an emergency or become ill, you need to notify the appropriate people of your absence as soon as possible. You are responsible for contacting Zach Johnson, to schedule make up days of rotations if needed. 5 6 CCVM Student Policies Absence Policy- Year 4 This policy is also listed on the CCVM website. http://vetmed.oregonstate.edu/students/current/absences Students in both elective and required clinical rotations are allowed to have no more than 0.5 days of excused absence per 1-week block, with a maximum of 5 excused days of absence during the senior year. The following are considered EXCUSED absences: 1. Job interviews 2. National or State licensing boards 3. A medical or family emergency 4. Scheduled medical appointments 5. Military or legal obligation such as subpoena or jury duty Other personal circumstances necessitating absence from the block will be considered UNEXCUSED, unless the course leader and duty clinician to which the student is assigned deem it appropriate to classify as an EXCUSED absence. Except for emergencies, students must complete a Request to be Absent Form (available in the dean’s office) for ALL anticipated absences. The form should be completed and returned to the Associate Dean for Student and Academic Affairs. Except in emergencies, if not submitted at least 1 week prior to the absence, the absence will automatically be considered UNEXCUSED. When a student has greater than 0.5 days of excused absence/1 week of block time or ANY unexcused absence the student will be expected to make up that time along with any after-hours emergency time associated with the block. If, in the opinion of the course leader, absences were such that the student’s learning opportunities were sufficiently reduced by the absences, the student may be required to repeat the entire block. Until absenteeism is made up, the student shall receive a grade of INCOMPLETE. Grading Students will receive a letter grade for each required block, based on criteria established by the instructor(s). A grade of a “D” is considered “unsatisfactory performance” and will require repeating the block satisfactorily before graduation. A grade of “F” results in dismissal from the DVM program. Reinstatement may be granted by the Student Progress Committee following a submitted petition and details on this process can be found in the Academic Standards Policy. Repeat tardiness or unexcused absence without the instructor’s permission may also

Current situation: a. Principles of 3R are practiced only when a procedure requires following international protocols. b. Legislation mostly covers prevention of cruelty to animals. c. Religion provides guidelines about conduct to animals, calling them companions and means of utility. d. International collaboration is gradually promoting respect for animal rights. 2. Areas of larger impact in education system: a. Veterinary Gross Anatomy b. Veterinary Surgery 3. Recommendations: a. Legislation for animal experimentation with the aim to reach International Standards in 5 years. b. Education and training of researchers for meeting the international standards of 3Rs. c. Establishment of 'Ethic Commissions' in research/teaching institutes. d. Reduction and replacement of animals in education by introduction of alternatives and residency programmes Keywords: 3Rs, Pakistan, veterinary education, animal experimentation Concept of 3Rs was first introduced by Russel and effectiveness, increased possibility of repeatability Burch in 1959 (Flecknell, 2002; Kolar, 2006). Since of exercise, increased student confidence, increased then, there is widespread adoption of these principles compliance with animal use legislation, and inclusion across the scientific communities of the world.

BILLS: CS/SB 220 REFERENCE ACTION ANALYST STAFF DIRECTOR or BUDGET/POLICY CHIEF 1) Careers & Competition Subcommittee 10 Y, 2 N, As Wright Anstead CS 2) Commerce Committee SUMMARY ANALYSIS In Florida, the practice of “veterinary medicine” means the diagnosis of medical conditions of animals, and the prescribing or administering of medicine and treatment to animals for the prevention, cure, or relief of a wound, fracture, bodily injury, or disease and is regulated by the Board of Veterinary Medicine under the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation. The bill allows the practice of veterinary medicine via veterinary telemedicine, where patient care is provided through the use of medical information exchanged via electronic communications. The bill creates licensing exceptions to allow a person other than a veterinarian to perform animal massage, animal acupressure, and animal tooth brushing. The bill does not have a fiscal impact on state or local governments. The bill provides an effective date of July 1, 2017.

    Growing Interest in Hormone Sparing Dog Sterilization and Recommendations for Standard Identification Methods Linda Brent Parsemus Foundation, San Francisco, CA

    Growing interest in hormone sparing dog sterilization and recommendations for standard identification methods Linda Brent Parsemus Foundation, San Francisco, CA Abstract Sterilization methods for pets have been around for more than a century, but the practice of spaying and neutering dogs varies globally, from being considered a standard of responsible care in some countries to an infringement of animal welfare in others. In the US, advocacy for spay/neuter programs became widespread in the 1970s to address canine overpopulation. More recently, research on the impact of canine neutering has identified potentially serious health and behavior consequences of removal of the gonads and associated sex hormones that appear to be influenced by sex, breed, age and environment. An alternative is hormone preserving sterilization, including hysterectomy and vasectomy, which allows population control while maintaining natural hormone concentrations. Informal analyses regarding alternatives to traditional spay/neuter indicate that interest from the public and veterinarians has grown in the last 2 years, public demand for veterinarians who offer alternatives is increasing and although most veterinarians acknowledge the pros and cons of gonadectomy, the number providing hormone preserving sterilization is very low. Given current trends toward individualized medicine and increasing public demand, it is likely that the number of practitioners who offer vasectomy, hysterectomy or other hormone reserving sterilization procedures will grow. Now is the time to develop standard methods of identifying dogs who have received such procedures, so that they do not unnecessarily undergo a second surgery. Following an analysis of current practice and available identification methods, we recommend that simple green tattoos be applied to the inguinal area (“X” for hysterectomy and “V” for vasectomy) to identify sterilized dogs.
