Congratulations to Dr. Osofsky for being recently installed as the president of the Association of Avian Veterinarians [AAV]. Dr. O has been volunteering heavily for AAV for the past 6 years and enjoys the opportunity this gives her to contribute to the health of birds in a broader way. Currently AAV is working on projects to educate more veterinary students in avian medical care, continuing the funding of avian health grants to improve our medical knowledge, producing more client education handouts and videos, and, as always, providing avian veterinarians with cutting edge learning opportunities. Dr. O plans to continue her quest to enhance avian health and welfare both at home (here at CWPH) and worldwide (with AAV).
