PUBLIC HEALTH

Everyday Zoonosis Lead to Everyday Lawsuits for Veterinarians (1-2 hours)

The human-animal bond has evolved such that animals are often considered part of the family. This closeness has put our clients at greater risk of acquiring certain diseases. Zoonotic transmission of viruses, bacteria and internal parasites poses a significant public health concern. Consequentially, the veterinarians play an integral role in preserving human health by addressing the problem in their patients. Veterinarians have a responsibility to educate clients and staff about the risks of disease transmission as well as adopt appropriate prophylaxis measures to prevent or limit such diseases. This lecture will address the principles of liability as well as some of the protections veterinarians can put in place to limit their liability.
