Craig Carter, DVM, PhD, Dipl. ACVPM, director of the University of Kentucky (UK) Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory, received the 2016 American Veterinary Medical Association’s (AVMA) XIIth International Veterinary Congress Prize at the Global Health Summit Reception held during AVMA Convention 2016 in San Antonio, Texas, in early August. Carter was recognized for his international contributions to veterinary public health.

“Throughout his career, Dr. Carter has displayed a strong commitment to improving international understanding of veterinary medicine,” said Joe Kinnarney, DVM, AVMA president. “He is a service-oriented individual whose contributions to One Health efforts have had far-reaching effects across the globe. I congratulate him on this award, and thank him for his many years of dedication to international veterinary medicine and tireless efforts to improve public health in the United States and around the world.”

In 2005, Carter joined the UK Department of Veterinary Science as a professor of epidemiology and, in 2007, became director of the UK Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory. He also is on faculty at the UK College of Public Health and the new Lincoln Memorial University College of Veterinary Medicine in Harrogate, Tennessee.

His current research focus is on infectious disease epidemiology and electronic animal health monitoring
