EQUINE VETERINARY EDUCATION / AE / MAY 2015


XI


Be the first to read EVE each month


If you currently are reading the print issue of Equine Veterinary Education, did you know that you could have been reading a digital version of this issue on your tablet or smartphone several weeks ago?


The AAEP Publications app places a catalog of AAEP member publications at your fingertips, often before their print counterparts are even in the mail. The app provides anytime access to EVE, the Annual Convention Proceedings and the Resource Guide and Membership Directory.


In the case of EVE, for instance, the digital issue is uploaded to the app on or about the 10th of the month while the print issue is still on the press. Proceedings, meanwhile, is available on the app weeks before the print version is mailed to members who did not attend the convention.


To join more than 1,250 of your colleagues who already are benefiting from the convenience and timeliness of digital AAEP publications, simply download the free app on your iPhone or Android device by searching “AAEP Publications” at the App Store or Google Play. Once installed, just use your AAEP website login to access the digital versions of EVE, Proceedings and the Resource Guide and Membership Directory.

Hoof Notes: A news roundup from the veterinary and equine industries


The recently released 2015 AVMA Report on Veterinary Employment found a “healthy and robust” employment market for veterinari- ans. Overall, the profession had unemployment of 3.19% and a negative rate of underemployment. However, at 6.3%, the unemploy- ment rate for equine practice was


nearly double the overall rate. The executive summary of the report is available at http://tinyurl.com/poppzej. The entire report can be ordered from a link within the executive summary.


The incidence of fatal injury among Thoroughbred racehorses in North America in 2014 declined marginally to 1.89 per 1,000 starts, according to statistics collected by the Equine Injury Database and recently released by The Jockey Club. The comparable fatality rate in 2013 was 1.90 per


1,000 starts. By racing surface in 2014, the incidence of fatal injury on dirt was 2.02 per 1,000 starts, compared with 1.75 on turf and 1.20 on synthetic. For more infor- mation, visit http://tinyurl.com/p2976n6.
