About the Advisory Board

The Aesculapius Foundation is building an advisory board of respected professionals and community leaders who can strengthen the Foundation's educational mission, program quality, independence, public credibility, and fundraising readiness.

Advisory board members may provide subject-matter guidance, review educational priorities, help identify community and practice needs, support appropriate introductions, and advise on programs related to One Health education, veterinary diagnostic literacy, infectious disease preparedness, independent validation, professional development, access, affordability, and community impact.

Advisory board service is intended to be consultative. It is not a corporate board director position unless separately approved and documented by the Foundation.

Veterinarians, veterinary specialists, technicians, and practice leaders
Human healthcare professionals, educators, and researchers
Diagnostic medicine, laboratory, or point-of-care technology experts
One Health, public health, shelter medicine, infectious disease, or access-to-care leaders

What Advisors May Help With

Program Guidance

Advise on educational priorities, validation topics, surveillance and preparedness themes, outreach strategy, and program relevance.

Professional Credibility

Lend practical perspective and help ensure that Foundation work serves real practice, farm, shelter, and community needs.

Review and Feedback

Comment on educational materials, public-facing resources, study concepts, or access initiatives.

Introductions

Where appropriate, connect the Foundation with mission-aligned partners, educators, practices, farms, organizations, donors, or community leaders.

Independence and Conflicts

The Foundation maintains educational, editorial, and methodological independence. Advisory board members are asked to disclose relevant professional, financial, commercial, institutional, or personal relationships that could create an actual, potential, or perceived conflict of interest.

Manufacturer, distributor, sponsor, donor, or partner relationships do not automatically disqualify a candidate, but transparency is required. Advisors may be recused from specific discussions where a conflict exists.
