Oklahoma Animal Disease

Diagnostic Laboratory

Oklahoma State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine announces a new online continuing education course for veterinary professionals. This course is based on Dr. Ruth Scimeca’s Summer Seminar presentation on Saturday, June 19, 2021, held online via Zoom. Participants will watch a video recording of the presentation and complete a final assessment. During this course, attendees will explore available qualitative diagnostic methods, review the use of quantitative diagnostic methods, recognize key factors that minimize parasitic infections in ruminants and horses, and create an integrative approach in managing internal parasites of ruminants and horses.

 

Dr. Ruth Scimeca is a veterinary clinical parasitologist accredited by the American College of Veterinary Microbiologists in 2019 after completing a 2-year residency program in parasitology at the National Center for Veterinary Parasitology at OSU. She joined the faculty of Oklahoma State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine as an assistant professor in 2020. Besides teaching and working on research, she dedicates most of her time to parasitology diagnostics at the Oklahoma Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory (OADDL) providing diagnostic and consulting services to veterinarians and the public.

 

Registration Fee:  $25

 

Time Requirements: Approximately 1 hour. This course can be completed at participants’ own pace. If you attended this session at Summer Seminar, do not duplicate.  No CE credit for course duplication.

 

Note:  This course has been approved as 1 hour online CE by the Oklahoma Veterinary Board.
