ing, diagnosis and treatment protocols for pet owners.

In addition, a "Heartworm University" program will extend AHS's outreach to veterinarians by targeting 10 state and local veterinary medical association programs per year to communicate the Society's messaging to practicing veterinarians. Targeted areas would include those perceived as having little heartworm risk. Selected speakers will train and assist veterinarians on emerging areas in heartworm prevention, testing and treatment, and provide tips on client communications and compliance. All these efforts aim to encourage and educate year-round prevention.

"We have plans to attract a larger audience to our Symposia by holding a stand-alone meeting and encouraging poster sessions," Rubin said. "These ideas are very exciting and we hope to engage all of our current sponsors to make these programs the most effective they can be."

The American Heartworm Society, http://www.heartwormsociety.org, is the global resource for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of heartworm disease. It was formed during the Heartworm Symposium of 1974. The American Heartworm Society stimulates and financially supports research, which furthers knowledge and understanding of the disease. Its headquarters are located in Batavia, Ill.
