Animal ER: A Glimpse Inside the Small Animal Emergency Room
In the course of 25 years of service, Tufts' Henry and Lois Foster Hospital for Small Animals has seen almost everything and taught it all to the next generation of veterinarians. Discover what goes on behind the scenes to run a world-class teaching hospital 24/7.
Caseload permitting, guests will be offered an insider's tour of the Henry and Lois Foster Hospital for Small Animals.
The Cancer We Share: What Our Pets Teach Us about Oncology
Did you know that dogs and cats suffer many of the same cancers as humans? Comparative oncology aims to find better treatments and cures for cancers to benefit both humans and animals. Dr. Davis will discuss the advances being made at the Cummings School in this emerging discipline.
The Athlete Horse: Running a Winning Equine Sports Medicine Program
Equine Sports Medicine applies to more than just elite competition horses. Attendees will gain helpful insights from our faculty experts to better manage the physical abilities of their active horse and to recognize problem symptoms before they become emergencies.
Caseload permitting, guests will be offered an insider's tour of the Hospital for Large Animals.
Paws for Applause! A Picnic Brunch Celebration for Cummings Veterinary Fund Supporters
We beg and you've given out treats. For all that our generous annual fund supporters do, let us treat you. Roll over to the Cummings School Campus for a casual brunch and social under a big-top tent.
This special program is by invitation to our current Cummings Veterinary Fund leadership supporters. If you would like to participate with a gift of $100 or more, we welcome and appreciate your support.
Our invited guests may bring their friendly dog(s), on leash, to this celebration. Guests' dogs should be current on vaccinations, pose no health risk to other animals or humans and be kept leashed at all times. We invite you to review the instructional video Proper Control of Your Dog
, and we kindly ask that you remain attentive to your dog during your visit to campus.
