Allyship: Action to Accountability
Dr. Jandrey will discuss how we can more rapidly diversify the veterinary profession and why this is important for veterinary specialty medicine, particularly veterinary ophthalmology. He will discuss the moral and ethical; business case; anti-racism; and growth mindset philosophies surrounding diversity in veterinary medicine. He will incorporate recommendations to shape culture change within our organization to improve race/ethnicity, gender and sexual identity, and professional niche goals while also educating the ACVO membership and hopefuls about DEI and why it is important.
