He says:
[blockquote author=”” link=”” target=”_blank”]
This opportunity has really changed my perspective on pain management. I am gaining a deeper understanding about pain physiology, the assessment of chronic and acute pain and how to intervene in order to prevent and reduce pain in animals.
The knowledge which I am gaining will be disseminated to my fellow veterinarians once I return home to Tanzania, benefiting society and positively impacting animal health and welfare.
In terms of my personal career development, I have been privileged to network with experts in the area of pain management from different parts of the world during my time here, especially members of the WSAVA Global Pain Council. I extend my sincere gratitude to them and to the team at the Université de Montréal for their contribution to my training since my arrival.
