President’s Notes – November
Dear Colleagues,
I’d like to begin by thanking Dr. Janina Krumbeck and MiDog for last month’s fascinating presentation. Their genetic sequencing technology is truly impressive—and I can’t wait to start using it in practice. It’s exciting to see tools like this changing how we diagnose and treat infections in our patients.
This month’s meeting is an especially exciting one! We are honored to welcome UT Southwestern as they introduce their new Veterinary Research and Oncology Clinic (VROC). Joining us will be Dr. Ranjan, Director of the VROC, and Dr. Timmerman, Chair of Radiation Oncology at UT Southwestern. Their work represents an incredible advancement in veterinary oncology and research, and we’re eager to hear their insights into what’s ahead for this innovative program.
Our November meeting is generously sponsored by IDEXX, and Dr. Kara Wolf will be presenting on some of their newest diagnostic testing developments. We’ll also be joined by Amy Taylor, Executive Director of DogsLife.org, a wonderful organization that provides grants to help pet owners afford cancer treatments for their dogs. This collaboration of research, diagnostics, and compassion will make for a truly inspiring evening.
Please join us for our final meeting of the year on Thursday, November 20th.
As this will be my last meeting serving as your president, I want to say what an honor it has been to lead this incredible group. I’ve truly enjoyed organizing these meetings and bringing together so many talented and compassionate veterinary professionals. I hope you’ve found our programs educational, engaging, and encouraging throughout the year.
Thank you all for your support, participation, and friendship—I look forward to seeing you one more time this year!
Warm regards,
Christina Minton DVM
President, Tarrant County Veterinary Medical Association
