Decisions, Decisions: Sharing Shelter Leadership

Date & Time: Wednesday, May 20, 2026. 4-5 PM PST

At the end of the day, shelter veterinarians and organizational leadership are aligned in purpose...but why doesn’t it always feel that way?  When roles, authority, and expectations overlap or conflict, working together can be tricky. Yet team clarity and animal outcomes depend on collaboration—especially in high-stakes situations. At this month’s Shelter Med LIVE, we’ll dive into how we can build better relationships with executive leadership, advocate for medical standards, and take more leadership in shelter decision-making. 

Join host Dr. Jenn Bennett and guests Drs. Erin Doyle and Ada Norris to strengthen your role across three core areas that drive clinical care: 

• Shelter policies and protocols 

• Population health strategies

• Organizational culture 

Shelter Med LIVE isn’t a lecture—it's a conversation for everyone who wants to talk shop on shelter medicine. Kick back and recharge with your colleagues in the middle of a long week! Find past episodes on-demand in the UC Davis Koret Shelter Medicine Program Shelter Learniverse, #ThanksToMaddie! This event has been approved for 1 hour of continuing education credit by CAWA and NACA.
