Veterinary Forensic Files: Investigating & Prosecuting Animal Crimes

In this episode, recorded at the 2020 Midwest Veterinary Conference in February, Mia and David sit down with Dr. Melinda Merck, a trailblazer who literally wrote the book on forensic veterinary medicine. She shares how she became the leading expert in the field; how veterinarians assist law enforcement in investigating and prosecuting not only crimes against animals, but people as well; and the number one way the veterinary community can speak for animals.

In part two, we continue our Meet the Board series with OVMA District 3 Representative Dr. Diana Cron.
