From the Editor
Welcome to the Senior Issue, packed with great information on senior care: from how to help your clients enhance the lives of their seniors through enrichment activities, to complementary medicine for seniors, to a look at some of the amazing AAHA-accredited end-of-life-care practices.
How is it November already? I feel like I have asked myself that almost every month of the year so far. But, here we are! Since Thanksgiving is coming right up, I wanted to say how thankful I am for you, the members of AAHA, and the entire vet med community. We have three dogs, and our local AAHA practice takes such good care of them, especially our senior girl, a 15-year-old goldendoodle, Tashi.
Which leads me to the theme of this month, the Senior Issue! This issue is packed with great information on senior care: from how to help your clients enhance the lives of their seniors through enrichment activities, to complementary medicine for seniors, to a look at some of the amazing AAHA-accredited end-of-life-care practices.
In this issue we also have a great article by Ewan Wolff, PhD, DVM, DACVIM (SAIM), looking at why there is a lack of representation of the LGBTQ+ community in leadership positions. And finally, we look at the new RECOVER CPR guidelines for veterinary professionals, which were updated earlier this year.
Coming Soon! The Digital Transition
Trends will be going fully digital starting Jan. 1, 2025. While you will no longer be receiving a print edition of Trends magazine, going digital means we can provide lots of enhanced, interactive content, with up-to-date news stories, as well as the in-depth feature articles you have come to expect from Trends over the past 40 years. So, enjoy this penultimate print issue, and then next year, make sure you log on to aaha.org to keep getting the best content that vet med has to offer.
Nominate Your Employee of the Month
Don’t forget to head over to aaha.org/EOTM to nominate one of your co-workers for the Employee of the Month contest, and you could win $100 for yourself, and $400 for your nominee. There is no catch, it’s free to enter and you get free money!
Coming Next Month
December is the final print issue! It will focus on the future of vet med, and also have a look back at some of the highlights of the last 40 years of Trends in print. We’ll also have some specific info on how to log onto the new Trends, and what to look for in the new year. (How is it the new year already?)
