CDFA veterinarian Dr. Edie Marshall

Dr. Edie Marshall, manager of CDFA’s landmark Antimicrobial Use and Stewardship Program, has been appointed to the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) Committee on Antimicrobials, a select group of national experts on this issue.

The AVMA is the nation’s leading advocate for veterinary principles, representing more than 99,500 members. The Committee on Antimicrobials is arguably the most influential body in the United States working to promote, protect, and advance the veterinary profession related to antimicrobial use. The committee reviews and supports comprehensive recommendations for policy with legislators, regulators, the marketplace, and other stakeholders. Further, the committee serves as the lead AVMA entity in the Association’s collaboration stakeholders, including human medical entities (e.g., Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), in a One Health approach to the overarching issue of antimicrobial resistance.
