Mars Veterinary Health

Recently, Mars Veterinary Health leaders took the stage at North American Veterinary Community (NAVC)'s Evolve VetED HiVE, an event focused on how to equip tomorrow's veterinary professionals for modern veterinary practice. Our head of Digital Pet Health, Dr. Cherice Roth, joined Mars Science and Diagnostics' Chief Medical Officer, Dr. James Barr, to discuss strategies for practical management of new medical and technological advancements. Additionally, our global head of Veterinary Education, Dr. Andrew Maccabe, shared his perspectives during a panel discussion on the evolution of veterinary medical learning and what it will take for new grads to be prepared to practice now and in the future. In a rapidly changing veterinary landscape, it's critical that veterinary education—in school and continuing education—is designed with the future in mind. This event, which brought together innovative leaders from across the profession, was an important step toward achieving that goal. #veterinaryeducation #veterinarystudents #proudlyMars

The theme of this year's World Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) Awareness Week—“Educate. Advocate. Act now.”—reminds us of the critical role the veterinary profession plays in combatting AMR and protecting the health of people, pets, and the planet.
