  • The article “Board sends polices to HOD, goes ahead with HOD-approved dues increase” in the May 15, 2021, issue of JAVMA News, incorrectly reported that the AVMA Board of Directors forwarded the “Policy on Therapeutic Medications in Racehorses” to the AVMA House of Delegates during its April 2021 meeting. Instead, the Board approved the policy.
  • The article “Veterinarian named in settlement over human knee surgeries” in the June 15, 2021, issue of JAVMA News, incorrectly reported that Dr. James Cook is a diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Surgeons. As of February 2020, he was not a diplomate.
  • This spring, the University of Georgia’s Center for Influenza Disease and Emergence Research became an institution in the Centers of Excellence for Influenza Research and Response, which replaced the Centers of Excellence for Influenza Research and Surveillance. The article “UGA joins federal influenza research network” in the July 1, 2021, issue of JAVMA News, contained the name of the previous network.
