Pacific Standard Time Subj: Re: Radiology I am writing in response to your inquiry to the WCVM about the Hip/Elbow certification program. The following information has been provided to me to forward to those asking about our program. Thank you very much. "TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: With regret WCVM advises you that its Hip and Elbow Certification program will be suspended effective March 1st, 2008. With OVC terminating its Hip and Elbow Certification program, it is simply impossible for WCVM to assume that workload at present radiology staff levels (with only a single ACVR Diplomate, whose primary responsibilities are teaching and clinical service to the WCVM teaching hospital). WCVM will continue to issue certificates to normal dogs which are brought to the college to have their radiographs made, but no outside referrals for hip/elbow certification will be accepted effective March 1st, 2008. All others seeking hip/elbow certification are directed to the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA), Inc. (website = _www.offa.org_ () )" Sincerely, Linda Kraft Small Animal Clinical Sciences Western College of Veterinary Medicine University of Saskatchewan 52 Campus Drive Saskatoon, SK S7N 5B4 CANADA Telephone: (306)966-7086 FAX: (306)966-7174 ----- Original Message ----- From: _Klaas Post_ (mailto:klaas.post@xxxxxxxx) To: _linda.kraft@xxxxxxxxx (mailto:linda.kraft@xxxxxxxx) Sent: Thursday, January 17, 2008 10:59 AM Subject: FW: Radiology From: _Elsyd1@xxxxxxxx (mailto:Elsyd1@xxxxxxx) [mailto:Elsyd1@xxxxxxx] Sent: January-11-08 4:20 PM To: _klaas.post@xxxxxxxxx (mailto:klaas.post@xxxxxxxx) Subject: Radiology Hi, do you evaluate canine radiographs?
