AAEP welcomes Contura Vet as Educational Partner
Contura Vet, the animal health division of Contura International in Denmark, has become the AAEP’s 11th Educational Partner, joining 10 other organiza- tions and brands dedicated
to providing resources and education through the AAEP to equine veterinarians and horse owners to improve the health and welfare of horses.
“Contura Vet is very much aligned with the AAEP’s mission of supporting the growth and development of the equine veterinarian, the equine industry, and the welfare of the horse,” said Michaela Arcaro, director of U.S. Business for Contura Vet. “We have developed products which make a meaningful difference to the lives of patients across the world, including equine patients.

During a discussion of what to do if a practice owner doesn’t respect or encourage boundaries, Dr. Marisa Markey of McKee-Pownall Equine Services in Ontario, Canada, said young veterinarians are in a unique advocacy position due to their high demand.
“You’re probably very needed at that practice,” she said. “Even if boundaries haven’t previously been established or respected or even thought about, hopefully you’re in a position where you can have a frank conversation that you love this profession, want to stay in this profession and this is how you need things to be set up so you can do that—whether that’s your personal boundaries and personal time, or your safety boundaries, or whatever it may be. Hopefully you can at least have that conversation and start working toward that, even if that’s a big culture shift for the practice.”
