| In the spring of 2004, students from UGA (Rebecca Reid,
Emmanuel Rollin, Stephanie van der Westhuizen and Jarred
Williams) and Texas A&M (Colleen Gladson, Krista
Hardy, Cody Laas, Semira Mancill,
Lani Matthews and Travis Nichols) along with Dr. John
Peroni (UGA) and Dr. Eric Swinebroad (TAMU) participated
in
an international workshop for equine health, held
in Argentina. |
| We'd like to thank the Department of Defense National
Security and Education Program (DoD-NSEP) for sponsoring
the workshop and Drs. Corrie Brown and John Peroni for
making all the arrangements. |
| This was a most unique opportunity that was geared
towards introducing and exposing American veterinary
students to foreign diseases that infect and affect the
equine industry and community. |
| The trip was organized in such a way that we were exposed
to numerous factors that can lead to the occurrence,
recognition, impact, and handling of disease. To fully
appreciate these factors we explored and experienced
the Argentinean culture in three very different areas
of the country: Buenos Aires, La Plata and Capitan Sarmiento. |
