MAJ (Dr.) Anna-Maria Travis (right), veterinary pathologist from the Joint Pathology Center, travelled to the University of Georgia (Athens, GA) last week (24-28 JUN) to serve as cadre for the Army Veterinary Support to Stability Operations (VSSO) Global Veterinary Medicine Course. MAJ Travis taught 22 veterinarians from the Army, Air Force, and Public Health Service, focusing on animal autopsies, transboundary animal disease, and planning international development projects.
