Like Human Like Dog - Register-Based Studies on Dog Ownership and Health

Review the association of dog ownership and the potential shared risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease in dogs and their owners.

Participants are expected to watch the video, reflect on its content, and complete the CME self-assessment and CME evaluation. Only upon completing this process will a participant's continuing education certificate be generated. The estimated time a learner will need to complete this self-study activity is 60 minutes. 

This activity is approved for continuing education for physicians, nurses, dietitians, and health and wellness coaches. 

The George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences designates this enduring activity for a maximum of 1 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

Objectives:

• Describe how national registers in countries with personal identity numbers can be combined to study health-related outcomes.
• Describe limitations in studies of the impact of dog ownership on human health.

Requirements for successful completion: Participants will be awarded contact hours commensurate with participation after completion of the post-test with a score of 70% or higher.
