Empowering Livestock Keepers: How and why VWB/VSF is combating Antimicrobial Resistance
VWB/VSF is actively working to mitigate the risks associated with AMR. Our primary focus is on training Community Animal Health Workers (CAHWs).
Brendan Delehanty joined the Veterinarians Without Borders North America/Vétérinaires Sans Frontières Amérique du Nord Board in 2019. He has a Master's degree in zoology from the University of British Columbia and a PhD in ecology and evolutionary biology from the University of Toronto. Brendan has worked as a wildlife biologist in Yukon, British Columbia, and Saskatchewan, and has done fieldwork in Alberta and Manitoba, as well.
He also earned a law degree and practised as a lawyer in Saskatchewan for 7 years before moving to Guelph, Ontario where he is a stay-at-home parent who still occasionally dabbles in ecological contract work. Brendan is enthusiastic about his role in VWB/VSF, and considers his interests in indigenous/northern communities and international work to be a good fit with the organization
