MILESTONE alert! 🚨 After almost three years, blendVET has become a registered trademark. This has been a labor of love — choosing a name that speaks to what we are trying to achieve in vet med #blendingvetmed and then working with our fantastic lawyer, Deneen Warmington, who walked us through each step of the process and was a constant source of support and guidance. On August 6, 2024, our dream of making blendVET an established entity came true! This is only the beginning for blendVET! Cheers! 🎉 - Niccole Bruno, DVM / Genine Ervin, DVM, MPH

I have always been passionate about topics in DEI, so this learning experience was incredibly rewarding. I’m very thankful for the opportunity to engage with this content and community. 🤎

This International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples 2024 is focusing on ‘Protecting the Rights of Indigenous Peoples in Voluntary Isolation and Initial Contact’.  Around 200 groups of Indigenous Peoples currently live in voluntary isolation and initial contact. They reside in remote forests rich in natural resources in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, India, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Peru and Venezuela. They choose to live detached from the rest of the world and their mobility pattern allows them to engage in gathering and hunting, thereby preserving their cultures and languages. This preservation of these cultures and languages is crucial — and something that we're quickly losing in the US. According to the Administration for Native Americans, Native languages have been in decline for decades; currently Ethnologue lists 245 indigenous languages in the United States, with 65 already extinct and 75 near extinction with only a few elder speakers left. So, with their cultural footprint slowly dwindling, how can we as veterinary professionals be respectful and mindful towards our Indigenous and Native colleagues and clients?  We got the incredible Evelyn Galban, DVM, MS, DACVIM to teach us all about it in our on-demand CE module "Native American Experience and Veterinary Medicine."
