Topics and Agenda
The 14th Annual ContinuEd Veterinary Ski Symposium will focus on the theme of "Challenges in Small Animal Practice", with a focus on Cancer and Pain Management. Two instructors are joining us for the program: Dr. Gregory Ogilvie, from California Veterinary Specialists, and Dr. Robin Downing, from from Windsor Veterinary Clinic in Windsor, Colorado. Together, they'll provide 12 hours of continuing education, split between early morning and late afternoon sessions, designed to provide time for a broad range of clinical discussions, interspersed with LOTS of time on the slopes.
