The Shelter Medicine working group was originally formed in 2006 by Dean Kochevar and was charged with creating a shelter medicine program at Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University. The working group now serves as a steering committee that meets once a semester to set goals and assess the progress of the program.
