Iowa Ag Connection - 08/14/2018
Iowa Pork Industry Center at Iowa State University continues to work with industry professionals in offering Pork Quality Assurance Plus 3.0 advisor certification opportunities, including a newly scheduled session for Sept. 10. Dr. Chris Rademacher, Iowa State University Extension and Outreach swine veterinarian, reminds potential applicants that attending this all-day session and passing an exam at the end of the session are required for certification.
"Anyone who wants to attend needs to complete the two-page application form and be approved in order to attend this session," Rademacher said. "The application deadline is Aug. 31, so I encourage people to submit their application soon to ensure receipt in time for approval and payment prior to the session."
Rademacher is coordinating the session, which will be held at the Hansen Ag Student Learning Center on the Iowa State campus, Ames. There is a 15-person minimum with the application deadline of Aug. 31 or when the 30-person maximum is reached.
No walk-ins are allowed and no individual spot is guaranteed until the application is approved and specific payment is accepted by IPIC. The cost is $75 per person and includes all materials, refreshments and the noon meal. The session begins with registration at 8:30 a.m. and instruction starting at 9 a.m.
Those who qualify and are interested in the program should go to the IPIC website to download the application form, then complete and submit it soon. The form is available as a fillable pdf document and a word document. Applicants may use either version. The Iowa Board of Veterinary Medicine has approved seven hours of CE credit for the session.
To be eligible to submit an application or re-certify as a current advisor, people must meet the following qualifications:
- Be a veterinarian, extension specialist or ag educator (defined for this program as a person who spends full time in adult education or at least half time in production training) AND
- Have a D.V.M. or B.S. in animal science (or equivalent)
