AVMA -
2002 Euthanasia Panel Report |
| |
At the request of the AVMA
Council on Research, the Executive Board of the AVMA
convened a Panel on Euthanasia in 1999 to review and
make necessary revisions to the fifth Panel Report,
published in 1993. In this newest version of the
report, the panel has updated information on euthanasia of
animals in research and animal care and control facilities;
expanded information on ectothermic, aquatic, and
fur-bearing animals; added information on horses and
wildlife; and deleted methods or agents considered
unacceptable.

Skills and expertise needed for a shelter
veterinarian |
| |
One way to characterize
expertise in shelter veterinary medicine is to think about
general attributes—think of them as “meta-skills”— needed
across almost this whole range of specific tasks. Shelter
veterinarians need a proficiency in what F. Scott Fitzgerald
called “divergent thinking” and defined as “the ability to
hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and
still retain the ability to function.” “Divergent thinking”
of a high order is needed in the “population medicine” which
permeates shelter work. A related skill is the ability to
proceed effectively in the face of uncertainty and
ambiguity.
