The event was designed for Boilermakers who serve in the medical profession in roles that support human, animal, plant, and environmental health. The activities began with a Welcome Reception Thursday night, November 14 at the Dauch Alumni Center and then continued Friday at the Purdue Memorial Union ballrooms and Stewart Center with a variety of talks and networking sessions. Among the presenters were two PVM faculty members and administrators who addressed the topic of antimicrobial resistance. Dr. Sanjeev Narayanan, head of the Department of Comparative Pathobiology<\/a> and interim associate dean for research, and Dr. Kenitra Hendrix, director of the Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory<\/a> and clinical associate professor of veterinary diagnostic microbiology, teamed up to give a talk entitled, \u201cAntimicrobial Resistance in the Human-Animal Interface\u2014Rise and Spread of Multidrug-Resistant Bacteria.\u201d

During a special lunch session Friday in the PMU North Ballroom, attendees were treated to a Fireside Chat that featured Purdue President Mung Chiang talking with Elanco Animal Health President and CEO Jeff Simmons. Purdue Veterinary Medicine students were invited to join in a special student networking session later that afternoon to meet and learn from alumni, staff and faculty leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The One Health Alumni Reunion followed the launch last spring of the Purdue Alumni Medical Network<\/a> as a new affinity network of alumni and friends working in the field of health care, including veterinary medicine. The network was established with the leadership of Dr. Hui, a practicing physician and physician advisor with extensive experience in the health care field, who brings enthusiasm for both medical expertise and alumni engagement to her role at Purdue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
