Dr. Claudio Brovida Retires as Standardization Projects Coordinator Dr. Brovida – scholar, Past-President and friend of the WSAVA, and most recently, WSAVA Standardization coordinator, has decided to retire after years of service to the WSAVA in various capacities and offices. His vision led to the WSAVA Standardization projects that have brought the global academic community together to provide standards for the diagnosis and treatment of common small animal ailments that are of clinical relevance for veterinarians around the world.
Beginning with the WSAVA/Hill’s Liver Standardization Project (which culminated in the publication of WSAVA’s first textbook), the WSAVA Gastrointestinal Standardization and Vaccination Projects have been completed (with the generous support of Hill’s Pet Nutrition and Intervet-Schering Plough Animal Health, respectively), Phase II of the Vaccination Project has been begun in 2009, as well as a four year Renal Standardization Project in 2008 (through the generous support of Hill’s Pet Nutrition and Bayer Animal Health). Other projects are also in the pipe line.
For more information on Claudio’s retirement, visit the May News, available in English, Spanish, Italian, and Chinese, by using the links on the left hand column of this page.
