Veterinary Innovation Summit: increasing access to veterinary care tops agenda Sept. 27-28
New study to be released on impact of DEI barriers to pet ownership
While more than 70% of U.S. households have pets, and most pet owners see them as family members, an estimated 88 million animals receive minimum to no veterinary care, according to the Veterinary Industry Council (VIC). Finding solutions to remove barriers and expand access to care are among the issues veterinary industry leaders will tackle Sept. 27-28 at the sixth annual Veterinary Innovation Summit in Portland, Oregon.
The VIC and the North American Veterinary Community (NAVC) are the sponsors of the summit.
The summit will feature a report on findings from a novel study on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) barriers to pet ownership and care, a CEO-led panel on the future landscape of animal health. Attendees can also explore sessions on timely issues including how to meet increased demand for veterinary care and the immediate need for a new mid-level veterinary practitioner position to help address workforce challenges.
The summit will also highlight new and innovative companies in the veterinary profession culminating in a live Pitch Competition.
