Outreach and Education
Current Programs
Foreign Animal Disease Course
APHI, USDA:CEAH, and the Colorado Department of Agriculture are co-sponsoring a Foreign Animal Disease Training Course in August 2005. The course is designed to provide participants with instruction in a variety of foreign animal diseases that can impact the livestock, horse, and poultry industries. For additional information, see the brochure and contact Dr. Tony Knight at aknight@colostate.edu.
Basic Epidemiology Course
APHI personnel provide teaching expertise for the delivery of epidemiology training. A new initiative involves the creation of on-line course material under a contract from USDA. In August 2004, the web-based Basic Epidemiology course was implemented as the first phase of a two phase hybrid training course. Course participants completed the web-based portion to prepare for a one-week traditional face-to-face training program, which was sponsored by the USDA:APHIS:VS Professional Development Staff under the direction of Dr. Paula Cowen and the Association for Veterinary Epidemiology and Preventive Medicine.
Books of Interest
Two veterinary medicine textbooks have been written by APHI faculty members and are available at the bookstore of your choice.
