Regarding a Letter of Recommendation for:
Abhishek Shake Chatterjee
Title: VETMED In a Mobile World (March 2014)
Provider and Venue: VetGirl Webinar c/o Justine Lee, DVM, DACVECC,
DABT
Im very pleased to recommend Abhishek Shake Chatterjee as a VetGirl
webinar presenter for his presentation "VETMED in a Mobile World".
I rst met Shake in July 2013 while president of the Association of
Veterinary Informatics (AVI) during our 19th annual two-day Richard B.
Talbot Informatics Symposium hosted by the 2013 American Veterinary
Medical Association conference in Chicago.
The Talbot Symposium is comprised of one day of in-depth foreground
subdomain (clinical, public health and research informatics) presentations
followed by a second day of general background presentations better
oriented towards clinicians. The emphasis during this second day is on
how the core components of biomedical informatics can support clinicians
via clinical decision support, the use of terminologies or ontologies for
semantic annotation of electronic health records for secondary uses
in research or epidemiology or context-aware information retrieval for
life-long learning, for example.
Shakes presentation last July on the use of mobile technology oriented
toward both veterinary students and faculty, house ocers and graduate
veterinarians was exemplary. It was innovative (he used a well prepared
dynamic presentation tool), comprehensive, current yet pragmatic, highly
relevant and inspiring.
I fully support Shakes participation as a continuing-education presenter
at the VetGirl webinar in March 2014.
Regards,
Stuart Turner DVM MS
