VETS NEEDED FOR MRSA STUDY

Dr. Peter Davies, of the University of Minnesota, is examining MRSA in swine veterinarians. He needs vets who are NOT swine veterinarians to act as a control group. 

You'll be asked to take swabs of your nasal mucosa every three months, and fill out a small survey each time. All materials would be provided. What's the catch? The study will run for five years.

If you would like to participate, email Peter Davies directly: davie001@umn.edu.
